title: Building a research team.
abstract: All diabetes healthcare professionals are involved in the research process. This involvement ranges from appraising the research literature to actually conducting a research project. Regardless of the type of involvement, collaborating with others is an effective and efficient way of introducing individuals into the world of research. Greater participation in the research process provides a greater appreciation of its roles in patient care. Forming interdisciplinary research teams contributes to the sharing and implementation of information and ideas among disciplines while building effective working relationships.
