In pursuit of UConn’s vision to vastly expand transdisciplinary team science research initiatives and associated external funding, faculty, researchers, and administrators from across UConn are invited to attend this event sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research.
This event offers a tremendous opportunity to gain valuable expertise and guidance from three exceptional team science experts at the National Institutes of Health who have spoken on this topic at research-intensive universities across the US: Drs. L. Michelle Bennett (NHLBI), Howard Gadlin (NIH), and Linda Nebeling (NCI).
Drs. Bennett, Gadlin, and Nebeling will share best practices within team science, offer suggestions for building and maintaining effective teams and avoiding pitfalls, discuss team science funding mechanisms, and answer questions from the audience. Topics addressed will also include how to evaluate individual members’ contributions to team accomplishments in faculty evaluation processes (e.g., annual evaluations, PTR).
Attendees are encouraged to peruse the NIH’s Team Science website prior to the presentation at http://teamscience.nih.gov.
