Navigation and support for clinical and translational collaboration, cross-disciplinary research, research teams, and grantsmanship for collaborative opportunities

RTS&D offers collaboration enhancement and research development for team-based, cross-disciplinary translational biomedical research. Focusing on the praxis of team science (the practical aspects of science performed in teams) and the science of team science (empirical research on scientific teams), RTS&D serves as a conduit to help translate empirical research findings about team science into evidence-based effective practices for scientific teams and funders of team science.
