SciTS 2021 Call for Abstracts Open!

by A public forum for scientists.

Dear All, I wanted to share the Call for Abstracts for the 12th Annual Science of Team Science Conference. Please see complete message with links to the call below. Please share widely with your networks. And please do consider submitting an abstract for consideration. Kind regards, Shalini Misra (On behalf of the SciTS 2021 Conference Planning Team) ----Apologies for cross-posting----- SciTS2021CFA Dear SciTS Community, The SciTS2021 Conference Planning Committee is pleased to announce that next year’s Science of Team Science conference will be presented 100% online. We ask you to save the extended dates *June 7-11, 2021* to join us for an online conference rich in discussion and engagement infused with the principles of team science. While we were looking forward to welcoming you to the greater Washington, D.C. metro area, we understand that so many are experiencing uncertainty and stress in their personal and professional lives. We want to prioritize your safety and wellbeing by offering an online event that will provide the flexibility and accessibility needed during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The *12th Annual International Science of Team Science Conference hosted by Virginia Tech* <http://sts.memberclicks.net/message2/link/86e22c72-4ad4-4d8d-b858-7e1005b67…> aims to advance our understanding of collaborative initiatives that address multidimensional complex societal problems. The theme of the SciTS 2021 is *Science of Team Science and the Human Condition*. As a point of convergence between science and practice, the conference will provide a platform to investigate contributions that team science research can make to addressing urgent contemporary challenges. This year’s conference will highlight the interface of the science of team science with challenges such as: * responding to megadisasters (e.g., the COVID pandemic, hurricanes, and fires), * curtailing systemic racism and the need to create and implement anti-racist policies and practices, including technologies, and * grappling with challenges in large growing metropolitan regions, such as equitable economic growth, affordable housing, education, healthcare, food scarcity, infrastructure systems (including IT systems), and the impacts of climate change. *Our call for abstracts is now open!* <http://sts.memberclicks.net/message2/link/86e22c72-4ad4-4d8d-b858-7e1005b67…> We invite team science academics, leaders and members of cross-disciplinary teams, institutional leaders and administrators, and funding agencies to collaboratively rethink how science of team science research and practice may serve as a foundation for positive change and justice. The following options are available: * Individual Pre-recorded Splash Talks <http://sts.memberclicks.net/message2/link/86e22c72-4ad4-4d8d-b858-7e1005b67…> * NEW!

Re: Systems transdisciplinarity as a metadiscipline

I am not sure what to think - I replaced "transdiciplinarity" with a variety of hybrid terms (e.g. systems neuroscience) and it didn't change anything. I think we have to be a bit cautious about going "meta" as it can lead us into a self-referential cul de sac. Thanks for sending this along. Susan Susan M. Fitzpatrick, Ph.D. President, James S.

10 essentials for transformative research

by A public forum for scientists.

10 essentials for transformative research are presented by Ioan Fazey in his revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2018/02/27/transformations-research-essentials/. They are 1) focus on transformative change not incremental or marginal, 2) focus on solutions & processes for change, 3) focus on how-to practical knowledge, 4) recognise the research as part of the system being intervened in, 5) explicitly acknowledge normative aspects, 6) transcend current thinking & approaches, 7) take into account multiple perspectives & ways of knowing, 8) be flexible in the roles you play, 9) enhance learning through iterative attempts to create change, 10) be reflexive. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

New article: A protocol for retrospective translational science case studies of health interventions

by A public forum for scientists.

Dear colleagues, You might be interested in our new article, "A protocol for retrospective translational science case studies of health interventions<https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-clinical-and-translation…>," recently published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science. The abstract is below. Best, Ira Abstract: The critical processes driving successful research translation remain understudied. We describe a mixed-method case study protocol for analyzing translational research that has led to the successful development and implementation of innovative health interventions. An overarching goal of these case studies is to describe systematically the chain of events between basic, fundamental scientific discoveries and the adoption of evidence-based health applications, including description of varied, long-term impacts. The case study approach isolates many of the key factors that enable the successful translation of research into practice and provides compelling evidence connecting the intervention to measurable changes in health and medical practice, public health outcomes, and other broader societal impacts. The goal of disseminating this protocol is to systematize a rigorous approach, which can enhance reproducibility, promote the development of a large collection of comparable studies, and enable cross-case analyses. This approach, an application of the "science of translational science," will lead to a better understanding of key research process markers, timelines, and potential points of leverage for intervention that may help facilitate decisions, processes, and policies to speed the sustainable translational process. Case studies are effective communication vehicles to demonstrate both accountability and the impacts of the public's investment in research.
