Description
In this eighth session of the Team Science Seminar Series 2023–2024, we will describe the growing trend towards multi-PI research and share resources and examples of best practices in the development of team management plans. Team management plans are increasingly required for these types of proposals and include sections such as: organizational structure and team composition; shared leadership, contributions, and distributed responsibility for decision making; resource sharing and allocation, credit assignment; coordination and communication plans; intra-team data sharing and archiving for preservation.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, the participant will:
- Understand growth trends in multi-PI grants locally and nationally.
- Increase awareness of effective team management structures to achieve program goals in multi-PI grants.
- Describe resources to support writing of team management plans as part of a grant proposal.
- Discuss challenges associated with team-based research.
