Team Science supports research teams to become more efficient and effective by helping teams build stronger relationships and acquiring team strategies and tools. We do this by providing a number of educational, training, and consultation services to develop and improve team science competencies for teams and individuals. Teams may elect to utilize one or more of our services to improve team coordination, engagement, and effectiveness. Our training services include:
-
- Annual Team Science Workshop
- Facilitation services for teams or centers (i.e., retreats, strategic meetings)
- Consulting services including resources/tools to promote effective teamwork
- Online training offerings via the ITHS Career Development Series
- Executive coaching
- Lean project management training

The Team Science Seminar Series is a joint effort by the Institute of Translational Health Sciences Team Science and Education cores to help early career researchers build the skills they need for effective scientific collaboration. The 2024-2025 8-part virtual series will be offered from 12:00 to 1:00 PM Pacific Time on the first Thursday of each month, beginning October 3, 2024. We offer a certificate of completion to individuals who attend (or view recordings of) all 8 sessions and complete evaluations for them. The ITHS informational webpage is coming soon.
We will continue to offer certificates of completion for our 2023-2024 series until September 30, 2024. Participants will need to have attended (or viewed recordings of) 8 of the 10 sessions and completed evaluations for them. To view recordings select the “Watch event video here” links below.
