SciTS Conference 2012 Registration Now Open!
3rd Annual International SciTS Conference
April 16-19, 2012
at the Wyndham Chicago
~ Registration and Call for Poster Abstracts now open ~
The Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference is a forum to enhance our understanding of how best to engage in team science to meet society’s needs. The SciTS Conference serves: as a point of convergence for investigators studying science teams and team science leaders/practitioners; to engage funding agencies to provide guidance on developing and managing team science initiatives; and to afford data providers and analytics developers insight into collaboration tracking and analysis needs. In this way, the SciTS Conference acts as a bridge between the science of team science and the praxis of team science, an important conduit for translating empirical findings about team science into evidence-based effective practices for scientific teams and funders of team science.

New SciTS Conference Web Site
We have launched a new SciTS Conference web site with the opening of this year’s Conference registration. Our new site at http://www.sciencofteamscience.orgreplaces the old site (scienceofteamscience.northwestern.edu) and offers integration between the Conference and Resources web pages, Conference registration, and our payment system. Coming soon: A new social community feature to further advance the growing field of SciTS and its interdisciplinary community of scholars, practitioners, leaders, tool developers, and funders.
Join the SciTS Listserv
The Science of Team Science (SciTS) listserv facilitates conversation among individuals who are engaged in, studying, or managing team science, in the US and internationally. The listserv is maintained collaboratively by the SciTS Team at the National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, Behavioral Research Program (http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/brp/scienceteam) at the NIH, and Research Team Support & Development (RTS&D) at the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute (http://www.nucats.northwestern.edu/collaboration-resources/research-team-support-development).
