In addition to and in cooperation with the individual investigators, there are three large scale interdisciplinary projects at Janelia:

Such research questions are not a primary focus of for-profit companies, and thus these trials are typically initiated by individual investigators or academic research organizations.

"The endeavour is to link and harmonise the achievements of individual investigators in their various fields of science".

The focus of this workshop is directed toward learning the nuances of writing applications that emphasize research goals of the individual investigator.

The efficacy of in-vitro fertilization was as much an art of the individual investigator as it was a science.

While there, the panels interview individual investigators and observe specific techniques.

How can the Government nudge research in desired directions while allowing individual investigators the freedom and creativity that often produce the most important scientific discoveries?

Hence it was inevitable that the activity of the individual investigator should be confined to a smaller and smaller section of human knowledge.

Other challenges arise in the traditional incentives which reward individual principal investigators over the types of multi-disciplinary teams that are necessary for translational research.

But some scientists have privately suggested that the centers might eventually gobble up too much money, diminishing Federal support for individual investigators.
