The Team Science Core in the UC San Diego Clinical and Translational Research Center aims to:
- Develop Team Science Networking opportunities with the Device Acceleration Center and the Center for Excellence in Translational Immunogenomics
- Incorporate Team Science training into K-award and other CTRI educational activities
- Build capacity for clinical researchers to understand Team Science principles, gain experience in assembling and managing research Teams, and how to evaluate Team productivity.
- This will be accomplished through:
- individual project consultations
- web-based Team Science Tool Kit
- didactic learning integrated into CREST modules
- online experiential games that incorporate Team Science principles
The Team Science Core will also evaluate how Team Science translates to academic advancement at UC San Diego by:
- Review of policies for reporting and evaluating Team Science research in the process of academic advancement at UC San Diego and elsewhere
- Survey of faculty members regarding how Team Science is valued and rewarded, and strategies for maximizing visibility of Team Science contributions
