The Community and Collaboration Core’s Team Science Coffee Break Series offers collaborative learning and practical tips on building effective multidisciplinary, translational science teams.
What is Team Science?
The concept of Team Science answers the question, “How do groups, particularly interdisciplinary groups, move through a process together?” Advances in translational research are increasingly dependent on teams of individuals with different perspectives and skills working collaboratively towards a common goal. How team members collaborate and communicate continues to evolve, particularly in environments rich in knowledge diversity. Collaboration among teams goes beyond traditional boundaries, accommodating an increasingly blended and dispersed workforce.
Target Audience
Team Science trainings are appropriate for any Johns Hopkins or ICTR partner researcher interested in improving their ability to lead or work within interdisciplinary research teams effectively. Interdisciplinary research teams can look like many things. It might be cross-school collaborations (e.g., Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, Engineering, Arts & Sciences, Education, or Business), collaborations across different department or fields of study, or collaborations with different types of organizations and institutions (e.g., community-academic partnerships). Whether you are starting a new team or seeking to enhance the effectiveness of your current team, this workshop will provide you with insights and tools to apply in your work.
