Description
This seventh session of the Team Science Seminar Series 2023–2024 will provide an overview of the current landscape and efforts by the ITHS Team Science core and colleagues to promote the recognition of interdisciplinary collaborative research in the Promotion and Tenure (PT) processes at the UW and beyond. The ITHS Team Science Core will describe why interdisciplinary collaborative research is critical to solving current complex scientific challenges and how recognizing and rewarding this work in PT processes is critical to encouraging the success of interdisciplinary teams. They will present strategies for faculty promotion candidates, department chairs, and deans to recognize and support interdisciplinary collaborative research in promotion processes. Strategies for writing goal statements, annotating CVs, and soliciting external reviewers’ expert at interdisciplinary research will be discussed during the session. Participants will also have the opportunity to sign-up for an interdisciplinary collaborative research PT Special Interest Group where you can learn more about future workshops and offerings.
