People & Collaboration

People - Atul Gawande Successful research requires collaboration, with investigators bringing the respective strengths of different fields and backgrounds to bear on a question or problem. Harvard Catalyst People - Walensky Loren provides tools to help investigators find potential collaborators or mentors, and to help groups of investigators do their work together in a secure online environment.

Find researchers with whom to collaborate?

Harvard Catalyst Profiles lets you search across multiple Harvard faculties and all of the affiliated hospitals for investigators to collaborate with.
Medvane provides a view of PubMed-indexed publications by Harvard faculty; see who is publishing papers on a particular topic.
Look to HarvardTrials to see which investigators are running trials on specific conditions or interventions.
And Grant Central's Skill Finder is a bulletin board for collaboration, letting you announce to your colleagues that you have skills to offer, or that you want to work with people from specific research fields.
