Recognising and acknowledging expertise, roles and responsibilities
Accept that you won’t always know what you’re looking at…
…but other members of your team will and you can rely on them
![Page 4: Thoughts on Interdisciplinary Collaborationbespoke-production.s3.amazonaws.com › fvas › assets › db › b9c3e0… · Establishing successful interdisciplinary collaborations](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e87727e708231d43faea1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Accept that there are different ways to tackle problems…
…and you need to be open to suggestions about different pathways to success

You will need to move out of your comfort zone…
…but this will take you to interesting places…and bring together complementary skills…to gain unexpected perspectives
![Page 6: Thoughts on Interdisciplinary Collaborationbespoke-production.s3.amazonaws.com › fvas › assets › db › b9c3e0… · Establishing successful interdisciplinary collaborations](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e87727e708231d43faea1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sometimes where you think you are going is not where you end up…
…be flexible and adaptable

…and help build faith in your team
Shared experiences help built relationships…

Understand that everything will not go smoothly…

…but that by communicating and sharing ideas, you can work out how to move forward
![Page 11: Thoughts on Interdisciplinary Collaborationbespoke-production.s3.amazonaws.com › fvas › assets › db › b9c3e0… · Establishing successful interdisciplinary collaborations](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0e87727e708231d43faea1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Communicate early, often and openly…
…the hard conversations are the most important

Challenges of Interdisciplinary Collaborations
• Different priorities and concerns
• Complex intersectoral professional structures and institutional environments
– Different ‘languages’, issues of trust, control and influence
• Extensive, multidisciplinary expertise for complex analyses
• Large teams – costly, communication challenges, transaction costs
• Funding – usually requires consortium of funding agencies
• Institutional barriers – difficulties with sharing resources
• Ethical review processes

Mass vaccination of dogs
can eliminate canine
rabies

Mutual benefits
• Important synergies with animal
welfare objectives• e.g. interventions that enhance life
expectancy, reduce abandonment of
puppies, reduce bite incidence
• Rabies vaccination campaigns
provide opportunities for
engagement with private
practitioners, community health
workers, municipal authorities
