人们对促进卫生科学家之间跨学科合作的兴趣与日俱增，这促使包括美国国立卫生研究院在内的几个联邦机构建立了旨在促进合作研究和培训的大型多中心倡议。为了评估这些倡议在促进科学合作方面是否有效，从而最终导致公共卫生的改善，有必要制定新的战略来评估研究过程和产品以及与这些计划相关的长期社会结果。理想情况下，评估措施应贯穿大型倡议的整个过程，包括其近期和后期阶段。本研究的重点是开发新的工具，用于评估卫生科学家在参与国家癌症研究所的能量和癌症跨学科研究(TREC)倡议之初(第一年)进行合作的准备情况。作为TREC第一年评估调查的一部分，管理了协作准备情况指数以及近期协作进程的其他衡量标准。此外，使用评估书面研究产品的协议，评估了科学协作和整合的早期进展。第一年调查的结果和书面产品的评级证明，在该倡议的第一年，参与者之间开展了跨学科合作，也揭示了在该项目后续阶段加强合作进程和成果的机会。讨论了这些发现对团队科学倡议的未来评估的影响。
Growing interest in promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration among health scientists has prompted several federal agencies, including the NIH, to establish large, multicenter initiatives intended to foster collaborative research and training. In order to assess whether these initiatives are effective in promoting scientific collaboration that ultimately results in public health improvements, it is necessary to develop new strategies for evaluating research processes and products as well as the longer-term societal outcomes associated with these programs. Ideally, evaluative measures should be administered over the entire course of large initiatives, including their near-term and later phases. The present study focuses on the development of new tools for assessing the readiness for collaboration among health scientists at the outset (during Year One) of their participation in the National Cancer Institute’s Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC) initiative. Indexes of collaborative readiness, along with additional measures of near-term collaborative processes, were administered as part of the TREC Year-One evaluation survey. Additionally, early progress toward scientific collaboration and integration was assessed, using a protocol for evaluating written research products. Results from the Year-One survey and the ratings of written products provide evidence of cross-disciplinary collaboration among participants during the first year of the initiative, and also reveal opportunities for enhancing collaborative processes and outcomes during subsequent phases of the project. The implications of these findings for future evaluations of team science initiatives are discussed.
