Thanks for your suggestions.

mettant grandement à contribution


Explanation:
D'après le Harrap's Unabridged :
- to bring pressure to bear on sb : faire pression sur quelqu'un
- to bring one's mind to bear on sth : s'appliquer à (réfléchir à)quelquechose

Il me semble que l'on a donc ici à la fois l'idée d'une certaine "exigence" de la tâche à accomplir et celle de l' "implication" attendue des chercheurs dont il est question.

D'où ma proposition :
... mettant grandement à contribution leur curiosité et leur ingéniosité personnelle/individuelle.
