Abstract: 

Science of Team Science: Using Developmental Evaluation to Advance Transdisciplinary Teams and Evolve Science.

For the past 20 years or more, science has been evolving to answer more complex questions, which require more complex teams. While scientists are eager to engage with diverse colleagues, academic institutions are slow to change and present a variety of barriers to advancing science. I will explore how the field “science of team science” has been growing and how team assessment, evaluation, and coaching can help teams become more effective. Case studies of interdisciplinary teams will be shared to illustrate how developmental evaluation and assessment can help accelerate team growth, and overcome institutional and infrastructural challenges and barriers.
