Others reported thattheir institutions created additional resources to support TD science. This included hiring new faculty who specialized in TD areas of science developed in TREC I, who were now conducting research, mentoring junior investigators, and teaching new courses in their areas of expertise. Some interview participants also described how their institutions were investing in new infrastructure to answer emerging TD questions (e.g., laboratory equipment, electronic data management systems for the multi-level data typical of TD research).
