Research yes no .
Types Of Research yes no .
Basic research yes no .
Applied research yes no .
________ research is sometimes maligned because of the perceived unimportance of
specific projects. Basic research requires an extraordinary dedication to
narrow purposes. yes no .
_______ researchers work at the frontier. Equipment and other experimental
tools necessary to solve problems may not be available commercially. In the
physical sciences, for example, equipment may have to be constructed;
algorithms may have to be developed. These challenges require aptitude for
mechanical, electronic, mathematical, and computer science skills true false .
Applied researchers will generally be able to use
commercially available electronic and computer-based equipment, perhaps
with minor modifications. true false .
An applied researcher engages in projects that may offer immediate benefit
to society. Consequently, this type of research could fulfill an inner need to
help people. During their careers, applied researchers are likely to interact
with greater numbers of people than their colleagues in basic research. true false .
applied researchers may have greater opportunities for professional
consulting, and for the development of combination career goals such as:
teacher/scientist, manager/scientist, or counselor/ scientist true false .
Most faculty are devoted to research that advances their fields, and, by
definition, work in a discipline is narrowly focused true false .
For example, the chemist will perform biological experiments; the biologist
will do chemical work. The exchange of roles prompts new ideas and Ieads
to deeper understanding, greater expertise, and more rapid solutions to
problems. This mixing and blending of research activities may also Iead to
the development of new fields or "disciplines." For example, the relatively
"new" field of computer science has roots in mathematics, engineering,
and linguistics true false .
Interdisciplinary research is no substitute for good disciplinary training
during the greater part of a graduate career. It is advisable, however, to
seek exposure to interdisciplinary activities in graduate as well as
postdoctoral training since most researchers engage in interdisciplinary
research during their professional careers. true false .
Another important basis for the choice of a research problem can be
the ______________ it leads to after graduation. yes no .
The choice of a research problem should be a highly personalized
decision. It may involve ____________________ yes no.
_________ is a useful starting point for graduate students. During
advancement, however, awareness must be developed of the
interdisciplinary nature of problems facing scientists and society. Many of
these problems call for interdisciplinary research, which involves the joint,
coordinated, and continuously integrated research efforts of investigators
from different disciplinary backgrounds yes no .
Disciplinary work is a useful starting point for graduate students. During
advancement, however, awareness must be developed of the
interdisciplinary nature of problems facing scientists and society. Many of
these problems call for interdisciplinary research, which involves the joint,
coordinated, and continuously integrated research efforts of investigators
from different _______________ yes no .

____________ of problems facing scientists and society. Many of
these problems call for __________ research, which involves the joint,
coordinated, and continuously integrated research efforts of investigators
from different disciplinary backgrounds yes no .
Progressive academicians and scientists appreciate the value of
___________ . The Executive Director of Agricultural
Biotechnology with the Ciba-Geigy Corporation, Mary-Dell Chilton, noted
that "interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, collaborative research, which has
rarely been tolerated, encouraged, or rewarded in academia, can make
unexpected large changes in our intellectual and scape. It may even Iead
to practical applications. Breakthroughs most often occur at the edges of
two or more traditional disciplines. It is important that we place proper
value on interdisciplinary research and researchers. yes no .

University faculties and departments are organized along ____________.
Most faculty are devoted to research that advances their fields, and, by
definition, work in a discipline is __________ yes no .
Interdisciplinary research is no substitute for good disciplinary training
during the greater part of a graduate career. It is advisable, however, to
seek exposure to __________ in graduate as well as
postdoctoral training since most researchers engage in ___________
research during their professional careers yes no .
_____________ is more likely to provide quick results than its basic
counterpart. The psychic rewards of basic research, however, may be greater
than those of applied research. The choice of basic or applied research
should therefore be made according to personal and professional
preferences yes no .
_________ researchers cross traditional ____________ and
work so closely with one another that _______ contributions become
difficult to identify. In chemical-biological interdisciplinary studies yes no .
