Collaboration & Team Science: A Field Guide by NIH
Document
Resource Link

This guide is intended for anyone who is currently on or leading a research team, considering becoming involved in a research team, or contemplating building a research team. The first section emphasizes how important it is that individuals reflect on how prepared and willing they are to engage in team science. Subsequent modules explore factors that contribute to successful teams, “best practices,” and strategies to address the challenges and reduce the pitfalls that stymie research teams.

Science of Team Science (SciTS)

Deana Pennington
Resource Link

The SciTS is a community that brings together thought leaders from a variety of disciplines/fields and providing investigators, administrators, and funders with state-of-the-art knowledge, strategies and connections. The SciTS field is building the evidence base for how to conduct, manage, and support effective and efficient team-based research, and ultimately enhance the science it produces.

Faculty Engagement Encounter
Service
Andrea Tirres

ORSP’s Interdisciplinary Network Manager invites academic units, Centers, and/or UTEP stakeholders to co-plan Faculty Engagement Encounters. Contact altirres2@utep.edu. These events are intended to facilitate the expansion of each participant’s intellectual and/or professional support base, create an environment conducive to networking, and expand a participant’s knowledge base. Past events have centered on such topics as community engagement and Department of Homeland Security thrust areas.
