Of the 1314 investigators with more than 30% of their time committed to research, 69% reported conducting 1 or more types of translational research (T1 = 79%, T2 = 36%, RT = 36%). Attitudes about translational research revealed both concern and uncertainty. Fifty-four percent of respondents described translational research as having complex regulatory requirements; 42% felt that an individual's contributions suffer from underrecognition, 39% described it as high risk, and 35% consider funding less secure for translational researchers. Collaboration across school and types of research was common. Forty-seven percent of basic scientists collaborated with a clinical investigator in the last year, and 56% of clinical investigators collaborated with a basic scientist.</jats:p>\n                  </jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, investigators who did translational research reported a greater number of collaborators than those who did not.</jats:p>\n                  </jats:sec>","journal":"Journal of Investigative Medicine","year":2010,"id":14158,"datarank":1.0863496848138727,"base_score":2.9444389791664403,"endowment":2.9444389791664403,"self_citation_contribution":0.44166584687496613,"citation_network_contribution":0.6446838379389066,"self_endowment_contribution":0.44166584687496613,"citer_contribution":0.6446838379389066,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":18,"citer_count":16,"citers_with_citation_signal":11,"citers_with_endowment":11,"datacite_reuse_total":2,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":113098,"name":"Eric B.
