This project supports three years of research team seminars in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology that will be hosted by the School for Advanced Research (SAR), an advanced research center for anthropology and allied disciplines. The program will support at least two seminars each year for research teams that need focused time together to discuss, synthesize, and analyze the results of their collaborative research and to develop plans for successful completion of their projects. Eligible research teams will be those in which the primary focus is on a question of anthropological importance, but the teams may be interdisciplinary and international in scope. Seminars will be selected through biannual competitions held in March and September. Transportation to and from SAR and all food and lodging will be provided for the research team to meet in SAR's Seminar House for no more than four days.The project addresses recent studies on the state of U.S. and international scientific inquiry, which identify a trend towards increased collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research and the increased quality and importance of the products resulting from this research framework. However, studies on the practice of collaborative science also demonstrate that, while digital communication is an important component of team research, face-to-face interaction is also needed to successfully advance the research, which can be a challenge to achieve when the investigators are scattered across the U.S. and in other countries. This program addresses this need and advances collaborative scientific inquiry by providing the opportunity for at least 6 research teams consisting of approximately 10 participants each to assemble at SAR from 2013-2016.

该项目支持为期三年的文化人类学、生物人类学和考古学研究团队研讨会，这些研讨会将由高级研究学院(SAR)主办，这是一个人类学和相关学科的高级研究中心。该计划每年将为需要集中时间讨论、综合和分析他们的合作研究结果并为成功完成他们的项目制定计划的研究团队提供至少两次研讨会。符合条件的研究团队将是那些主要关注人类学重要性问题的团队，但团队可能是跨学科的和国际范围的。研讨会将通过在3月和9月举行的一年两次的比赛来选出。该项目将为研究团队提供往返香港特别行政区的交通以及所有食宿，为期不超过四天。该项目涉及有关美国和国际科学研究状况的最新研究，这些研究发现了合作、跨学科和国际研究的趋势，以及这种研究框架导致的产品质量和重要性的提高。然而，对协作科学实践的研究也表明，尽管数字交流是团队研究的重要组成部分，但面对面的互动也是成功推进研究的需要，当研究人员分散在美国和其他国家时，这可能是一个挑战。该计划满足了这一需求，并通过为至少6个研究团队提供机会，每个团队由大约10名参与者组成，在2013-2016年间在SAR集合，从而促进了协作科学研究。
