Team Science Conference. Please see complete message with links to the
call below. Please share widely with your networks. And please do

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…>

Subject: Message: Systems transdisciplinarity as a metadiscipline
An argument for conceiving systems transdisciplinarity as a metadiscipline is presented by Vladimir Mokiy at https://i2insights.org/2020/10/27/systems-transdisciplinarity-metadisciplin…. He provides a requisite meta-theory and meta-narrative, along with philosophic principles and suggested models of spatial, informational & temporal units of order. He suggests this will allow transdisciplinarity to be integrated into the existing system of scientific approaches as well as the educational process of universities? What do you think?

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.

RTI: Delivering the promise of science for global good
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.

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.
