Transdisciplinary research: research capacity building in developing countries at low cost.
Transdisciplinary research within the context of The Medical Research Council Programme on AIDS (MRCPA) has proven to be a way of research capacity building requiring relatively few additional costs. In developing countries where funds for specialised training are not always or easily available, encouraging multidisciplinary research teams is worthwhile, particularly for grooming into research relatively junior national researchers by providing them with opportunities to work with more senior international scientists.
