- Team Science Toolkit The National Cancer Institute’s Science of Team Science (SciTS) Team The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) SciTs Team was formed in 1999 (with the original name, Evaluation of Large Initiatives (ELI) team) with a primary charge to better understand the processes, outcomes and impacts of the large transdisciplinary center grant initiatives supported by the NCI. The NCI SciTS Team is located in the Science of Research and Technology Branch (SRTB) in the Behavioral Research Program (BRP), part of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of NCI. The SciTS Team has had a longstanding interest in assessing whether these center grants, which support transdisciplinary team science, offer added value compared to traditional investigator-initiated research, in terms of research productivity, innovation, and translational applications to cancer prevention and treatment. Mission and Goals of the SciTS Team The current mission of the SciTS Team is to advance our understanding of effective team science approaches, including cross-disciplinary team approaches, by implementing and stimulating original SciTS research and supporting the translation of emerging knowledge into best practices to enhance the conduct, support and evaluation of team science. The team aims to achieve this mission by conducting research and providing support and leadership related to three key goals: Goal: Studying Team Science Objectives: To use innovative multi-method approaches to study the processes and outcomes of cross-disciplinary team science initiatives. To develop and apply new methods, metrics, definitions, models, and approaches for evaluating cross-disciplinary team science initiatives. Goal: Facilitating Team Science Collaborations Objective: To facilitate effective team science collaborations, as well as training in team science, through the development of practical tools and resources and funding opportunities. Goal: Supporting The Development of the SciTS Field Objective: To support the development and evolution of the SciTS field by supporting platforms for knowledge sharing and information exchange, including conferences, journal special issues devoted to team science, and web-based technologies for knowledge sharing and information exchange on team science.
- The Science of Team Science: Overview of the Field and Introduction to the Supplement The science of team science encompasses an amalgam of conceptual and methodologic strategies aimed at understanding and enhancing the outcomes of large-scale collaborative research and training programs. This field has emerged rapidly in recent years, largely in response to growing concerns about the cost effectiveness of public- and private-sector investments in team-based science and training initiatives. The distinctive boundaries and substantive concerns of this field, however, have remained difficult to discern. An important challenge for the field is to characterize the science of team science more clearly in terms of its major theoretical, methodologic, and translational concerns. The articles in this supplement address this challenge, especially in the context of designing, implementing, and evaluating cross-disciplinary research initiatives. This introductory article summarizes the major goals and organizing themes of the supplement, draws links between the constituent articles, and identifies new areas of study within the science of team science.
- Pearls and Pitfalls of Team Science Formidable health problems are often best addressed by teams of scientists with varied expertise. This diversity among team members and complexities in managing teams can lead to challenges in designing, funding, conducting, and reporting research. Team science difficulties can be addressed by sophisticated planning, frequent reassessment and realignment of team strategies with goals, and consistent transparent communication. This article addresses specific strategies to build and sustain research teams, manage team meetings, strategically develop publications and grants, thrive in the midst of disciplinary and individual team member differences, embrace new ideas and change to maintain creativity, and build future team scientists and projects. The potential value in team science justifies the effort required to build and maintain efficient and effective research teams.
