Team Science: A Value Proposition

As societal problems and the technologies to solve them become more complex, team science has become essential to scientific progress, and a culture of multidisciplinary scientific collaborations an essential engine of innovation and discovery. The science of team science offers evidence-based problem-solving approaches and techniques to understand how teams collaborate, and insights and tools to more effectively facilitate collaborative research to achieve scientific breakthroughs otherwise not attainable with individual effort or sequential additive contributions. Foundational knowledge of team science will empower MU faculty to engage in and lead interdisciplinary teams to position MU at the cutting edge of scientific research, and to be competitive in securing external funding for research.                                                 

This talk is a value proposition, i.e. an attempt to illuminate the promise of how team science knowledge can be acquired/experienced to deliver a high return of investment to the MU research enterprise.  Specifically, Dr. Chanetsa defines what team science is and is not, highlight the benefits and opportunities, and the strategies that we can employ to facilitate adoption of team science practice. Critically, Dr. Chanetsa discusses the challenges and barriers to adoption and success of team science and potential solutions.
