The ability to communicate and collaborate is key to effective research teams and networks. This project focuses on enhancing this ability through a dialogue-based workshop to be held in Washington DC for newly funded members of international network-to-network collaborations as part of an awardee project meeting. The workshop builds on a decade of work by the Toolbox Dialogue Initiative to design and deliver evidence-based facilitated discussions that increase the communicative and collaborative capacity of cross-disciplinary teams. The workshop will advance knowledge along two fronts. First, the reflective discussion among participating members of the networks of networks will increase their own understandings of potential obstacles to project success and opportunities for project development. Second, the extension of the facilitative approach from research teams to larger, distributed networks of networks will provide new insights to science collaborations. The primary goal of this workshop is to provide members of international network-to-network collaborations the opportunity to examine beliefs and values that inform their contributions as collaborators, researchers, and networks members. Workshop participants will represent newly funded projects in the Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaboration program. The workshop will be crafted for each network represented, maximizing the value of the time they spend in dialogue. The workshop will generate: (1) a team-focused conversation about the conceptual foundations of their project that can coordinate their collective thinking going forward; (2) products of a co-creation activity that will contribute to the team's process; (3) a report that offers communication and collaboration recommendations for the team's consideration; (4) a communication-focused survey tool that the teams can use to check in periodically about the status of their collaboration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

沟通和协作的能力是有效的研究团队和网络的关键。 该项目的重点是通过在华盛顿为新资助的国际网络对网络合作成员举办一个基于对话的讲习班来加强这种能力，作为获奖者项目会议的一部分。 该研讨会建立在十年的工作，由跨学科对话倡议设计和提供循证促进讨论，提高跨学科团队的沟通和协作能力。 讲习班将在沿着两个方面推进知识。 首先，网络之网参与成员之间的反思性讨论将增加他们对项目成功的潜在障碍和项目发展机会的理解。 第二，将促进性方法从研究团队扩展到更大的分布式网络，将为科学合作提供新的见解。 本次研讨会的主要目标是为国际网络到网络合作的成员提供机会，以检查他们作为合作者，研究人员和网络成员的贡献的信念和价值观。 研讨会的参与者将代表通过国际网络到网络合作计划加速研究的新资助项目。 研讨会将为每个网络的代表精心设计，最大限度地利用他们在对话中花费的时间。 讲习班将产生：（1）以团队为中心的对话，讨论项目的概念基础，以协调他们的集体思维;（2）有助于团队流程的共同创造活动的产品;（3）提供沟通和协作建议供团队考虑的报告;（4）通讯─该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
