ABOUT COLLABORATION & TEAM SCIENCE 

​COLLABORATION & TEAM SCIENCE (CaTS)

The mission of the Collaboration & Team Science (CaTS) program is to facilitate interprofessional collaborations through networking, team science education, and consultation in which all participants find deep mutual benefit.

​

We drive the advancement of multidisciplinary collaboration and networking, promote the use of team science principles, and consult with translational and interprofessional investigators and other innovators to help them navigate the many resources that are available throughout the CCTST partner institutions.

For more information, contact Laura Hildreth.
