研究合作也许是大学研究中心的独特特征，广义上说，共享。然而，很少有系统的研究中心级的属性，促进（或阻碍）在个人层面的研究合作。本研究以研究能力与研究结构为中心层级的测量指标，探讨研究能力与研究结构是否会影响中心所属大学科技人员与工程师的合作行为。我们认为中心的多学科性，规模和中心的关系，私人公司和联邦资助的中心计划分配给来自其他大学，政府实验室和国外的研究人员合作的时间的影响。我们的分析比较了行业，中心和非中心科学家，也解决了中心科学家之间的组内差异。研究结果表明，一些中心级属性“映射”到预期的协作行为，而其他中心级属性没有。最后，我们讨论了未来的研究领域和大学研究中心的设计和管理的影响。(c)2008 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Research collaboration is perhaps the singular feature that university research centers, broadly defined, share. Yet, there has been little systematic study of the center-level attributes that facilitate (or hinder) research collaboration at the individual level. This paper estimates whether center-level measures of research capacity and structure affect center affiliated university scientists' and engineers' collaborative behaviors. We consider the effects of center multidisciplinarity, size, and center ties to private firms and to federally funded centers programs on the time allocated to collaboration with researchers from other universities, government laboratories, and abroad. Our analyses compare industry, center to non-center scientists and also address within-group differences among center scientists. The findings demonstrate some center-level attributes to "map" to the expected collaborative behaviors while other center-level attributes do not. We conclude with a discussion of areas for future research and implications for the design and management of university research centers. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
