note = "Funding Information: The NSF recognizes that solutions to many complex problems require mul tiple approaches that are beyond the reach of one discipline. NSF Centers are long-standing examples of interdisciplinary facilities through which groups of investigators tackle complex problems using a variety of approaches. In addition to the various interdisciplinary programs and initiatives throughout the NSF, interdisciplinary research is also supported by awards to principal investigators at academic institutions for projects involving multiple co-investigators. Currently, over 40% of NSF awards involve more than one principal investigator (Fig. 2), which represents a tangible measure of the NSF{\textquoteright}s commitment to supporting the collaborative interactions typical of modern scientific research.",
