Induction versus alteration in the 2012 scientific collaboration network of the University of Florida. (A) shows collaborations activated by induction: Red paths are the shortest network paths between investigators whose collaboration resulted from the UF CTSI Pilot Project Awards. (B) shows collaborations targeted by alteration: The blue paths are the shortest network paths between investigators reached by the UF CTSI alteration program. Unlike induction, alteration activates collaborations that cut across institutional boundaries and disciplinary divides, spanning long distances in the university network.
