Published on Leave a comment on Three New Valuable Resources for Team Science Research and Training

You can now access three new resources through the C3@GWU website under the resources tab.

Science-of-Team-Science Mendeley Group Forum: A collaborative forum and extensive reference library to promote cross-disciplinary and inter-professional knowledge transfer around team science, scientific collaboration, and the science of team science research, a powerful evidence-base for effective practices.

 

Team Science Toolkit: An interactive website to help you support, conduct and study team-based research


COALESCE: CTSA Online Assistance for Leveraging the Science of Collaborative Effort Solutions to complex problems in the sciences require teams of specialists from diverse backgrounds working across the boundaries of disciplinary silos. The COALESCE project aims to create, evaluate, and disseminate new, durable, readily accessible on-line learning resources to enhance skills needed to perform transdisciplinary, team-based translational research. Diverse audiences, including senior investigators, junior investigators, and institutional development officers can benefit from tools designed to help envision how transdisciplinary collaboration can work and overcome the inevitable communication challenges that arise when working in multidisciplinary teams. All content presented in the modules is grounded in empirical research and theory about the science of team science (SciTS), and the experts interviewed are well-published in that domain. The four modules are intended to help researchers acquire and apply a basic knowledge of team science. Modules 2-4 afford an experiential learning environment where the researcher can adopt different roles and engage virtually in the challenges of team research.

Critical issues related to gender disparity and bias must be examined by sound studies. Drawing upon its high-quality global data sources and analytical expertise, Elsevier is developing a comprehensive new report, Gender in the Global Research Landscape, as an evidence-based examination of the outputs, quality, and impact of research worldwide through a gender lens and as a vehicle for understanding the role of gender within the structure of the global research enterprise. The report covers 20 years, 12 geographies and 27 subject areas, providing powerful insight and guidance on gender research and gender equality policy for governments, funders and institutions worldwide.

Join us on March 31st in Washington, DC for a report symposium featuring an overview of key findings and a broader expert discussion of the importance of an evidence base to address gender inequality and gender research.

The presentation and networking reception are open to the public at no charge, but registration is required. This event is sponsored by Elsevier.

Collaborators from GWU Schools of Law, Libraries and Academic Innovation, Graduate School of Education and Human Development, National Digital Stewartship, Columban School of Arts and Science, Milken School of Public Health, School of Business, School of Medicine and Health Science, Childrens National Health System, and Industry Partners meet to discuss issues around project management tools, sensemaking and analytic technologies, and learning and sharing technologies.

Creating a Culture of Collaboration at George Washington University (C3@GWU) is a University Seminar that convenes a cross-disciplinary community of expert faculty interested in issues related to scientific collaboration and connects them with regional and national partners and experts to explore and address topics that foster collaborative science. C3@GWU knowledge communities (“think tanks”) represent GWU, regional institutes, and federal government stakeholders. C3@GWU will generate short and long term agendas and discussions that emphasize the mechanisms of scientific collaboration at GW about:

  • Developing and educating team scientists
  • Measuring team effectiveness
  • Technologies for collaboration and scholarship informetrics
  • Required organizational supports for team science and collaboration
  • Faculty reward and recognition for collaborative activities,
  • Issues related to crossing cultural, ethnic, and gender boundaries in science.

C3@GWU Seminar Objectives:

  • Assemble knowledge communities (“think tanks”) of key contributors and stakeholders from throughout and beyond GWU to foster cross-disciplinary discourse and generate agendas for action in creating a collaborative culture at GWU.
  • Explore key topical areas critical to scientific collaboration within and beyond the GWU scholarly community.
  • Examine critical areas of academic and organizational collaborative functioning that will strengthen a growing culture of collaboration at GWU.
  • Propose collaborative and team protocols, policies, and activities to university leadership and decision-makers responsible for empowering GWU collaborative science.
  • Disseminate key products and create knowledge-sharing events that will enhance collaborative activity at the GW department, school, and university levels.
