Team Science Training

The CEC hosts initiatives to develop team science competencies:

Team Science Training Workshop

In collaboration with the GA CTSA and two of Emory University’s cross-disciplinary T32s (Health Disparities, Cardiology), the CEC is developing an annual one-day team science training workshop that will include activities and exercises highlighting team communication, synergy, and conflict resolution. Participation in the workshop is predicted to increase attendee skills in leading and/or working effectively within a team science approach.
