Do non-MD academic clinicians qualify as complementary interdisciplinary counterparts/scientists?

Non-MD academic clinicians may or may not qualify as complementary interdisciplinary scientists, depending upon the goals of the application, and depending upon the other members of the interdisciplinary team. In general, applicants are advised to make a case that the disciplines that they are bringing together each makes a specific contribution that is complementary to the contribution of the other disciplines in the proposal, and that by bringing the specific combination of disciplines together, the proposal has a very good chance of succeeding in its goals. Another requirement is that at least one member of the team be a behavioral or social scientist.
