Research Poster Session & Abstract Submission

THE DEADLINE HAS NOW PASSED, WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING POSTER ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

The Third Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference will be held April 16-19, 2012 in Chicago, IL. The SciTS Conference an international, multi-agency forum dedicated to the empirical field of the science of team science, bringing together thought leaders from a broad range of disciplines, including: translational research, evaluation, communications, social and behavioral sciences, complex systems, technology, and management. The SciTS Conference serves as a point of convergence for team science practitioners and investigators studying science teams, engages funding agency program staff to provide guidance on developing and managing team science initiatives, and affords data providers and analytics developers insight into team tracking and analysis needs. Because of diverse participation, the SciTS Conference serves as an important conduit for translating empirical findings about team science into evidence-based effective practices for scientific teams and funders of team science—a bridge between the science and praxis of team science.
