Abstract
Complex health problems such as chronic disease or pandemics require knowledge that transcends disciplinary boundaries to generate solutions. Such transdisciplinary discovery requires researchers to work and collaborate across boundaries, combining elements of basic and applied science. At the same time, calls for more interdisciplinary health science acknowledge that there are few metrics to evaluate the products associated with these new ways of working. The Research on Academic Research (RoAR) initiative was established to evaluate the process of discovery and impact of collaboration that emerged through the Life Sciences Institute (LSI) at the University of British Columbia, a state-of-the-art facility designed to support researchers—self-organized around specific health problems rather than disciplines. A logic model depicting the factors influencing such collaboration is presented along with a multimethod evaluation plan to assist understanding of the discovery process in this new environment and develop new metrics for assessing collaborative impact.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
