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, and strengthens cooperation and collaboration among scientists nationally and internationally.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 an annual competition held in February. With the funding provided by NSF, SAR will cover all domestic and international transportation to Santa Fe for up to 10 participants, as well as lodging and meal expenses for the research team to meet in the SAR Seminar House for three days. Research Team Seminar organizers will be expected to develop a meeting schedule in advance and provide SAR with a report after the seminar concludes describing the activities and results.

该项目涉及最近对美国和国际科学探究状况的研究，这些研究确定了一种增加合作，跨学科和国际研究的趋势，以及这种研究框架所产生的产品的质量和重要性的提高。然而，对协作科学实践的研究也表明，虽然数字通信是团队研究的重要组成部分，但成功推进研究也需要面对面的互动，当研究人员分散在美国和其他国家时，这可能是一个挑战。该项目旨在满足这一需求，促进合作科学研究，加强国内外科学家之间的合作与协作。该项目支持由人类学和相关学科的高级研究中心--高等研究学院（SAR）主办的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。该计划将支持每年至少两次研讨会的研究团队需要集中时间在一起讨论，综合和分析他们的合作研究的结果，并制定计划，成功完成他们的项目。合格的研究小组将是那些主要重点是人类学的重要性问题，但团队可能是跨学科和国际范围。研讨会将通过2月举行的年度竞赛选出。在NSF提供的资金下，SAR将支付最多10名参与者前往圣达菲的所有国内和国际交通费用，以及研究小组在SAR研讨会大楼举行三天会议的住宿和膳食费用。研究小组研讨会的组织者应提前制定会议时间表，并在研讨会结束后向SAR提供一份报告，说明活动和结果。
