There is increasing evidence that cross disciplinary collaboration spurs innovation and helps solve pressing scientific problems. This workshop advances understanding on how, when, where, and for whom interdisciplinary collaboration works, and when it does not. The experts attending the workshop span the social science disciplines of cognitive psychology, social psychology, organizational behavior, economics, anthropology, sociology, and science/technology studies. Intellectual Merit: The workshop provides an overview of the state of the art across disciplines of the science of interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as specific gaps in theory, constructs, data, and methods. The workshop also provides an opportunity for cross-fertilization, communication, and innovation to occur among the social scientists themselves. The approach documents ways in which interdisciplinary collaboration can be more effectively studied, including addressing complex measurement and conceptual issues as well as ways in which infrastructure can be created and maintained. Broder Impact: The US is facing serious challenges in the fields of science and technology. The results of the workshop inform the structure of science and engineering education: as ways of composing, structuring, and instructing teams are examined. In addition, the workshop's explicit goal is the generation of a structure that could help drive new, innovative research.The audience is extremely broad - spanning social science disciplines and having practical and policy implications for other scientists and engineers. The results of the workshop are also broadly disseminated through a workshop website, executive summary and link to the website in professional newsletters and publications.

越来越多的证据表明，跨学科合作可以促进创新，并有助于解决紧迫的科学问题。该研讨会促进了对跨学科合作如何，何时，何地以及为谁工作以及何时不工作的理解。参加研讨会的专家横跨认知心理学、社会心理学、组织行为学、经济学、人类学、社会学和科学/技术研究等社会科学学科。智力优势：该研讨会概述了跨学科合作科学各学科的最新技术水平，以及理论，结构，数据和方法方面的具体差距。研讨会还提供了一个机会，让社会科学家之间相互交流、沟通和创新。该方法记录了可以更有效地研究跨学科合作的方法，包括解决复杂的测量和概念问题以及创建和维护基础设施的方法。 更广泛的影响：美国在科技领域面临着严峻的挑战。研讨会的结果通知科学和工程教育的结构：作为组成，结构和指导团队的方式进行检查。此外，研讨会的明确目标是建立一个有助于推动新的创新研究的结构，受众非常广泛，涵盖社会科学学科，并对其他科学家和工程师产生实际和政策影响。讲习班的成果还通过讲习班网站、执行摘要以及专业通讯和出版物的网站链接广泛传播。
