Public Sticky notes
But the real incentive for researchers entering this collaboration was not the MRF funding or the potential royalties down the road; it was the opportunity to make faster progress in their own areas of interest and to deepen their own understanding by working with other leading-edge researchers. The researchers are coming together in this process network because they see an opportunity to make rapid progress in solving large, complex, real-world medical problems.

As Ben Barres, professor of neurology at Stanford and one of the four senior
researchers collaborating in the network, notes: "We are bringing together
academic scientists that operate in an environment where traditionally data
cannot be shared until after experiments are complete and published. Within the
consortium model, every time the team gets together, sparks fly. There's no
question that better teamwork in science can significantly accelerate results."
