Description
Team Science is an annual initiative designed to enable researchers to form new interdisciplinary collaborations and facilitate research in areas of need. Individuals can apply for a place at Team Science Camp, where they will be organised into interdisciplinary teams and coached in the principles of Team Science. These teams are then able to apply for a Team Science Award.
This year, the fully-facilitated Team Science camp will focus on applied health and social care research methodology. The three strategic priorities for this theme are methodology for diagnostic test evaluation and prediction modelling, evaluation methodology, and methodology for epidemiology.
At the Team Science Camp, attendees will be coached in the ethos of Team Science and supported to develop multi-disciplinary teams, who will then be eligible to apply for an award to provide funding and support for the team to develop further funding applications. Teams do not have to attend the Camp in order to be eligible to apply for Team Science Award funding.
The Team Science approach enables a positive research culture which recognises the contribution of every member of the research team equally. The success of Team Science will be dependent on engagement with and inclusion of people from a variety of backgrounds, career stages and disciplines.
