Implementing TeamMAPPS: Formative Qualitative Findings from the Dissemination and Implementation Study of a New Evidence-Based Team Science Intervention

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Abstract Introduction: Team Methods to Advance Processes and Performance in Science (TeamMAPPS) is an evidence-based competency model intervention. TeamMAPPS was developed by experts the of with translational teams mind. focuses on three core teamwork competencies: (1) psychological safety, (2) awareness exchange, (3) self-correction adaptation. In 2023, framework operationalized into five online training modules that can be used train whole or individuals, without facilitation, any order. This article reports formative findings from pre-implementation stage Dissemination Implementation (D&I) study. Methods: We conducted 27 interviews participant-observation fieldwork 23 individuals involved conceptualization, design, implementation (four were interviewed twice). All implementers affiliated a Clinical Translational Award (CTSA) hub. Data collected during pre-implementation, when being tested early-stage trained. D&I theories frameworks structure study, analyze interview data, recommend strategies. Findings: “Adoption,” “reach,” “effectiveness” emerged as key outcomes. perceived evidence-based, highly adaptable, intervention offering unique benefits. draw participants’ responses expert recommendations suggest Conclusions: CTSAs other organizations use varied strategies implement TeamMAPPS. The flexibility its rootedness evidence-base synthesized leaders make appealing for seeking enhance their team offerings.

Competencies supporting high-performance translational teams: A review of the SciTS evidence base

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 7(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2023

Abstract A translational team (TT) is a specific type of interdisciplinary that seeks to improve human health. Because high-performing TTs are critical accomplishing CTSA goals, greater understanding how promote TT performance needed. Previous work by Workgroup formulated taxonomy 5 interrelated team-emergent competency “domains” for successful translation: 1). affect, 2). communication, 3). management, 4). collaborative problem-solving, and 5). leadership. These Knowledge Skills Attitudes (KSAs) develop within teams from the team’s interactions. However, practice in these domains enhance was unaddressed. To fill this gap, we conducted scoping literature review empirical studies broader Science Team domains. We identified KSAs performance, mapped earlier “domain” taxonomy, developed rubric their assessment. This identifies important areas intersection practices competencies across other find inclusive environment, openness transdisciplinary knowledge sharing, situational leadership core triad reinforce each highly linked performance. Finally, identify strategies enhancing competencies. provides grounded approach training interventions context.

The Science of Team (SciTS) has generated a substantial body work detailing characteristics effective teams. However, that knowledge not been widely translated into accessible, active, actionable, evidence-based interventions to help translational teams enhance their team functioning and outcomes. Over the past decade, field Implementation rapidly developed methods approaches increase translation biomedical research findings clinical care, providing roadmap for mitigating challenges developing while maximizing feasibility utility. Here, we propose an approach intervention development using constructs from two frameworks, Consolidated Framework Research, Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance, extend Wisconsin Interventions framework described in Rolland et al. 2021. These can SciTS researchers design, build, test, disseminate meet needs both adopters, institutional leadership decides whether adopt intervention, implementers, those actually intervention. Systematically considering impact design decisions on usability may lead quickly move prototype pilot test pragmatic trials assess impact.

Abstract Introduction: Impactful, transdisciplinary scientific discoveries are created by teams of researchers spanning multiple disciplines, but collaboration across disciplines can be challenging. We examined how team dynamics and related to successes barriers faced from disciplines. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was used examine 12 research granted multidisciplinary pilot awards. Team members were surveyed assess their individual views about research. Forty-seven (59.5%) responded, including two eight each funded team. Associations between collaborative scholarly product outcomes, manuscripts, grant proposals, awarded grants.

The science of team science (SciTS): An emerging and evolving field of interdisciplinary collaboration

El Profesional de la Informacion, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 1, 2023

In recent years, collaboration within a team to solve complicated scientific and social problems has attracted growing popularity. particular, many complex challenges opportunities require expertise skills across disciplinary, organizational, cultural boundaries. However, rapid growth in the demand for outpaced changes factors needed support teams. Also, results are not simply combination of different working results; understanding how teams work what causes them fail or succeed is utmost importance. Thus, Science Team (SciTS), an emerging interdisciplinary research area, emerged as way managing circumstances that facilitate hinder effectiveness large-scale cross-disciplinary, collaborative research, training, translational initiatives. SciTS integrates various quantitative qualitative methods still advancing its sophistication. Using bibliometric information visualization methods, this paper clarifies concepts connotations science. It sets out important events emergence development summarizes characteristics literature, identifying seven main areas.

Published: Jan. 1, 2022

Abstract Introduction: Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs are well-positioned to advance dissemination implementation (D&I) research training capacity nationally, though little is known about what D&I support services CTSAs provide. To address this gap, the CTSA Dissemination, Implementation, Knowledge Transfer Working Group conducted an environmental scan of (2017–2018). Methods: Of 67 institutions, we contacted 43 that previously reported delivering services. experts from these institutions were emailed a survey assessing resources, services, training, scientific projects. Responses categorized double-coded by study authors using content analysis approach. Results: Thirty-five (81.4%) responded. Challenges in developing supporting science activities related inadequate workforce (45.7%) lack understanding (25.7%). Services provided included consultation/mentoring programs (68%), pilot funding/grants (50%), workshops/seminars/conferences (46%). Training development frequently identified as future priorities. Recommendations increase meet demand (68.6%), accessible tools/resources (34.3%), greater visibility/awareness methods consultation (22.9%), expand (22.9%). Conclusions: have tremendous potential advancement impact across translational continuum. Despite growing presence CTSAs, continued commitment prioritization needed institutional leadership raise awareness its value, demands, develop necessary infrastructure for conducting science.

Articulating the social responsibilities of translational science

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1)

Abstract In recent funding calls, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences has shifted its focus from “translational research,” which applies to studies in specific therapeutic areas, toward science” interventions aim modify system of translational discovery health sciences. To date, social responsibilities science have not been adequately articulated. this paper, we argue that ethical practice should include explicit contribute improved outcomes and decreased disparities. Articulating is justified based on three field’s foundational elements: (1) contract regarding public research, (2) goals science, (3) increased risk direct, indirect, systemic harms involve system-level changes. We integrate into a framework prioritizes developing relevant, usable, sustainable innovations provide illustrative examples demonstrate practical application framework.
