- Bridging Disciplines in the Brain, Behavioral and Clinical Sciences
This 2000 Institute of Medicine report examines the need for interdisciplinary research and training, identifies obstacles that stand in the way, and defines the components of training necessary to create scientists able to bridge disciplines in the brain, behavioral, and clinical sciences. - NIH Interdisciplinary Roadmap

Goal 3: Interdisciplinary Training
Improve practice through interdisciplinary training in MCH.
Strategies:
- Improve the quality of interdisciplinary training
- Increase opportunities for interdisciplinary training
Rationale:
The MCH Training program has a long track record of focusing significant training resources on interdisciplinary training because we believe that the leaders of the future will need to take an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach if they are to develop new paths to solve difficult problems.
Current interdisciplinary MCH Training Program investments include: Leadership Education in Adolescent Health (LEAH), Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND), Pediatric Pulmonary Centers (PPC), and Schools of Public Health (SPH). These programs provide interdisciplinary leadership training to graduate and post-graduate professionals from a wide variety of professionals. Each year the four programs sponsor a Joint Interdisciplinary Training Program meeting.
