There are many pathways to engaging in building primary health care (PHC) research capacity. These include students’ and residents’ projects, mentorship from colleagues engaged in research, and master’s and doctoral education. However, there are few graduate programs in Canada specifically in PHC research. An exemplary, one-of-a-kind tool for PHC research capacity building is Transdisciplinary ...

Science is increasingly being carried out in large cross-disciplinary research teams. However, currently little empirical research focused on understanding the outcomes and added-value associated with this type of research approach exists. This study utilizes a scientific mapping technique to compare the structure and topical coverage of publications over time for a transdisciplinary center-bas...

Interdisciplinarity has become a widespread mantra for research, accompanied by a growing body of publications. Evaluation, however, remains one of the least-understood aspects.
