First, the committee defines team science as collaborative, interdependent research conducted by more than one individual. Most shared publications were published by science teams of approximately two to ten members (Wuchty et al., 2007)

Therefore, team science varies in form, since disciplinary differences and integration can vary. Specifically, team science can vary in the degree in which members are integrating concepts, techniques, and theories from different fields.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE REPORT: ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEAM SCIENCE From 2013 to 2015, the National Academies' Committee on the S cience of Team Science worked on a report to offer research-based guidance aimed at enhancing the processes and outcomes of collaboration in s cience (NRC, 2015)

Relatedly, the committee discovered that there was a need for deep knowledge integration arising from the goal of merging disparate expertise and disciplinary backgrounds. Large science teams often face difficulties due to their size, making coordination and communication more complex.

Similarly, when considering leadership and team science, the commit tee found that decades of "research on team and organizational leadership in contexts other than science provide a robust foundation of evidence to guide professional development for leaders of science teams" (NRC, 2015, p.

Often, agency announcements seeking team science proposals lack clarity regarding the expected level of collaboration and knowledge integration. To address these issues, the committee recommended funders mandate proposals for team-based research to include detailed collaboration plans (NRC, 2015)

These include the multi faceted and sometimes competing goals of team science projects and the multilevel perspective required to study science teams and processes at individual, team, and organizational levels. To address these challenges and promote advancements in team science, the committee recommended that public and private organizations allocate funding to support research on team science effectiveness.
