Teaming for Early Career Researchers

This curriculum is designed to build your capacity to participate in and lead effective interdisciplinary and translational scientific teams. The program addresses the shift in science from an individual-based approach to a teamwork model of conducting clinical and translational research. Participants will complete a self-paced online course followed by six virtual workshops, which are 2 hours each in duration.

This program is intended for early career scientists, which include doctoral students (PhD, PharmD, DPT, etc), post-doctoral trainees, fellows, instructors, program managers, research staff, assistant professors (prior to mid-point review), K awardees and research assistants/associates.

Instructors

CCTSI (Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute) affiliates from Colorado State University will provide the workshops. The team consists of Dr. Jeni Cross and her team from the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRISS). The IRISS staff are sought-after speakers, regularly leading workshops on cultivating transdisciplinary teams, lecturing on the field of team sciences, and coaching various large NSF (National Science Foundation) and NIH (National Institutes of Health) funded teams.

Structure

The program's structure includes a pre-requisite self-paced online module, Teaming 101, that must be completed prior to workshop attendance. Teaming 101 is hosted on Canvas.instructure.com and is not affiliated with your university account. Instructions for accessing Teaming 101 will be emailed to you after you have registered for the live workshops. Attendance at the six workshops can occur in any order that fits with your schedule. Due to their interactive nature, the workshops require synchronous attendance. Registration for workshops closes 4 business days prior to the scheduled workshops. Zoom links and details for workshops will be sent to registrants 1-2 business days before the workshop. Participants are expected to track which workshops they have completed and those workshops still necessary to complete.
