Although digital communication is a key component of team research, studies on the practice of collaborative science also demonstrate that face-to-face interaction is needed to successfully advance research, which can be challenging to achieve when investigators are located throughout the United States and in other countries. NSF/SAR (School for Advanced Research) research team seminars benefit the field of anthropology by providing important opportunities for in-person collaborative interdisciplinary research, given the lack of resources to bring busy scholars together for an extended time that is free of everyday professional responsibilities. Supporting both existing and new research teams of U.S. and international scholars with in-person focused, uninterrupted time to discuss, synthesize, and analyze results of their collaborative research, this project will result in plans for successful completion, expansion, and development of new projects that will benefit and enrich the field of anthropology. This project will also support the NSF's goals of building scientific infrastructure through collaboration and increasing understanding of the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability.This project addresses the advancement of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research in anthropology by an in-person team of scholars. The project also increases discovery and understanding, as well as the quality and importance of the products resulting from this type of research framework. With NSF funding, the School for Advanced Research (SAR), an advanced research center for anthropology and allied disciplines located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, will implement three years of research team seminars in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology. Eligible research teams will have a primary focus on a question of anthropological importance that is timely and addresses a specific need. Seminars will be selected by an expert panel of SAR staff and external scholars through an annual competition. For each seminar, NSF funding will cover domestic and international travel, lodging, meals, and other related costs for up to 10 participants (6 U.S. and 4 international scholars) to meet in the SAR Seminar House for three days. Funding will also support a portion of SAR staff salaries to administer the project and advertising of the research team opportunity. Organizers of the research team seminars are expected to develop a meeting schedule in advance and provide SAR with a report after the seminar concludes that describes activities and results, including plans for new research, publications in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and conference presentations.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.

虽然数字通信是团队研究的关键组成部分，但对合作科学实践的研究也表明，成功推进研究需要面对面的互动，当研究人员位于美国和其他国家时，这可能是具有挑战性的。NSF/SAR（高级研究学院）的研究团队研讨会为面对面的跨学科合作研究提供了重要的机会，从而使人类学领域受益，因为缺乏将繁忙的学者聚集在一起的资源，可以免去日常的专业责任。支持现有的和新的美国和国际学者的研究团队，面对面集中，不间断的时间来讨论，综合和分析他们的合作研究结果，该项目将导致成功完成，扩展和发展新项目的计划，这将有利于和丰富人类学领域。该项目还将支持美国国家科学基金会的目标，即通过合作和加深对人类社会和文化变异性的原因、后果和复杂性的理解，建立科学基础设施。这个项目通过一个面对面的学者团队来解决合作、跨学科和国际人类学研究的进展。该项目还增加了发现和理解，以及由这种研究框架产生的产品的质量和重要性。在美国国家科学基金会的资助下，位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的高级人类学及相关学科研究中心——高级研究学院（SAR）将在文化人类学、生物人类学和考古学方面开展为期三年的研究小组研讨会。合格的研究小组将主要关注一个具有人类学重要性的问题，该问题必须及时并解决特定的需要。研讨会将由特别行政区工作人员和外部学者组成的专家小组通过每年一次的比赛选出。对于每个研讨会，NSF将资助最多10名与会者（6名美国学者和4名国际学者）在特区研讨会大楼会面三天的国内和国际旅行，住宿，餐饮和其他相关费用。拨款还将用于支付部分特区工作人员的薪金，以管理项目和宣传研究小组的机会。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特别行政区政府提交一份报告，描述活动和结果，包括新研究计划、在同行评审期刊和编辑卷上的出版物以及会议演示。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
