In the early 20th century, scientific knowledge production is on the integration trend, break the disciplinary barriers and doing interdisciplinary research has been concerned by many researchers.After World Warâ…¡, the social problems that weaare facing become more complex,and single discipline alone can not solve the complex practical problems.Under the background of university services social, the university should bear more and more responsibility, so the researcher at the university pay more attention to the interdisciplinary. And create interdisciplinary research organization in the research university is of great significance.Perspective of this study points to the American research university which has a wealth of practical experience in carrying out interdisciplinary research, through analyzing the relevant literature and searching for some American research university official web site, this paper analysis of the management system and operation mechanism of interdisciplinary research organization in U.S. research universities, and describes that American research universities how to promote interdisciplinary research by making initiatives.First,this paper analyzes the development process of interdisciplinary research in American Research universities, and the important role that it plays in research universities.It is found that the development of the interdisciplinary research associate with pragmatism in the United States, a good academic environment, science and technology policy in due course and the traditional faculty structure. And the development of interdisciplinary research organization is meaningful to promote the basic research and technology innovation development, to develop innovative talents, to increase enthusiasm of the university serving the social and also can promote the academic development.Secondly, after researching the practice of American research university to create intertidisciplinary research organization found that there are types of interdisciplinary research organizations-the entity type and the virtual body. Each of these two types of inter-disciplinary research organization researcher characteristics are different. Then this paper analyzes the general organization of interdisciplinary research management system and operation mechanism.Finally, from the strategies about incentive fund, resource monitoring, recruitment and evaluation of teachers in the research universities of the United States we can see that the universities how to promote interdisciplinary research.
