Registration and Call for Poster Abstracts will open in January, 2012 

 The Annual International Science of Team Science (SciTS) Conference is a forum to enhance our understanding of how best to engage in team science to meet society's needs. The SciTS Conference serves: as a point of convergence for investigators studying science teams and team science leaders/practitioners; to engage funding agencies to provide guidance on developing and managing team science initiatives; and to afford data providers and analytics developers insight into collaboration tracking and analysis needs. In this way, the SciTS Conference acts as a bridge between the science of team science and the praxis of team science, an important conduit for translating empirical findings about team science into evidence-based effective practices for scientific teams and funders of team science.
