MOD: Collaborative Research : Workshop Proposal -Applying the Science of Teams to Inform Policy and Research on Team Science to be held in Orlando, Florida during the year 2010.

科学界一直在努力克服跨学科互动带来的挑战。目前，跨学科正处于一个重要的关头：科学家和资助机构正在承认和促进更多的跨学科合作；技术正在促进更多和分散的跨学科互动；许多人相信，跨学科是在许多领域取得科学突破的关键。这次研讨会将为在团队科学的背景下讨论跨学科研究提供一个论坛。从对各种团队的研究中已知的知识出发，研讨会将为探索创新解决跨学科边界的高度复杂的科学问题所需的基于团队的过程奠定基础。结果将包括对团队科学的当前艺术状态的评估，以及对社会科学家为了推进最先进技术而追求的最有前途和最重要的方向的评估。此外，讲习班的产品将对那些目前寻求挖掘社会科学知识以实践团队科学的循证管理的人有用。

Scientific communities continually struggle to overcoming the challenges arising from interdisciplinary interaction. At this time, interdisciplinarity is at an important juncture: scientists and funding agencies are recognizing and promoting more interdisciplinary collaboration; technologies are enabling far greater and dispersed interdisciplinary interactions; and many are convinced that interdisciplinarity is a key to scientific breakthroughs in a number of arenas. This workshop will provide a forum for discussion of interdisciplinary research in the context of team science. Beginning from what is known from research on teams of all sorts, the workshop will lay the foundation for exploring the team-based processes required for innovative solutions to highly complex scientific problems that cross disciplinary boundaries. The outcomes will include an assessment of the current state of the art for team science and assessments about what are the most promising and important directions for social scientists to pursue in order to advance the state of the art. Further, the products of the workshop will be useful to those who currently seek to mine social science knowledge in order to practice evidence-based management of team science.
