ABOUT COLLABORATION & TEAM SCIENCE TRAINING

WHAT IS TEAM SCIENCE?

Working collaboratively with investigators, staff, and others is a fact of life for researchers in an academic medical center. Creating and operating “effective” teams is becoming more of a challenge as research becomes more interdisciplinary and many teams function across multiple institutions. “Team Science” is the study and application of principles, techniques, and strategies in order to form, develop, lead, and manage groups of individuals who are part of a research project or team.

CaTS provides the expertise and resources to help investigators and teams learn the fundamentals of collaboration and team science and to support teams as they develop and mature. We offer a range of educational courses, workshops, seminars, and presentations that can be customized to meet the needs of particular audiences. Several of our previous workshops are described below, and we have included a library of Collaboration and Team Science readings, presentations, and tools available in the resource section.
