Team Science: Collaborations in Biomedical Sciences

Team science is a collaborative effort to address a scientific challenge that leverages the strengths and expertise of professionals trained in different fields. The Team Science badge represents that the individual has obtained and applied key skills, abilities, and knowledge of the principles of team science to conduct transdisciplinary, team-based translational research in the biomedical sciences. Participants must complete following to earn the badge: 1. Enrollment in "Team Science: Collaborations in Biomedical Sciences (Course 16:718:512)" 2. Write-up of 3 NJACTS Team Science Core seminar series (or comparable with prior approval). 3. Capstone project: submission of a proposal that defines a team-based research project within one’s own discipline that incorporates a translational component and demonstrates a clear understanding of the translational research spectrum and how the proposed project advances within biomedical translational research. The proposal includes a technical advisor who serves as a subject matter expert to assess the project’s feasibility, relevance, and impact. 4. Documented completion of 4 contact-hours of relevant experiential learning related to the practice of team science (including interaction with technical advisor, setting, or other subject matter experts relevant to capstone project). Cost: No additional cost beyond tuition and fees associated with enrollment in the Team Science course.
