Isi artikel

Complex societal issues, such as those raised by agricultural biotechnology and genetically modified food, call out for prompt, large-scale multidisciplinary research. Universities encounter powerful institutional impediments when trying to respond. This article describes a successful experiment designed to overcome those impediments and build university research capacity. Twenty-five faculty members from four colleges joined together to learn more about biotechnology. Within 1 year they produced 20 useful journal articles to help themselves and others understand the emerging issues, possibilities, and policy options.
