CAIRIBU 2023 Collaborative Science Workshops

In 2023 the CAIRIBU Interactions Core collaborated with Team Science expert, Whitney Sweeney, PhD from the  University of Wisconsin Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), to design and facilitate a 5-part virtual workshop series on Collaborative Science. Objectives of the series included understanding the benefits and challenges of collaborative research, assembling research teams, building consensus, identifying team roles, and creating and maintaining healthy and high-functioning research teams. Each workshop was followed 2 weeks later by a separate, optional, virtual “community of practice” session for discussion, Q&A, brainstorming, and problem-solving. Dr. Sweeney’s slides from each workshop are below.
