 This study identified seven key design elements that can be used by research organizations to foster interdisciplinary team science. These elements include semi-formal meta-organizational structure, shared context and goals, formal evaluation processes, meetings to promote communication, role clarity in mentoring, building interpersonal competencies among faculty and trainees, and designing promotion and tenure and other organizational processes to support interdisciplinary team science.
