Abstract

This paper is part of an ongoing research project that investigates the socio-technical infrastructure required for successful team science. A comprehensive analysis of 96 grant solicitations provided a representation of how U.S. federal agencies conceptualize and communicate team science. This research has implications for the management and evaluation of team science projects.
