The Business of Team Science

The Business of Team Science

The CTSI partners with Colorado State University's Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRISS) to present The Business of Team Science, a unique, forward-thinking program designed to equip faculty and staff with the skills and frameworks necessary to build, lead, and sustain high performing cross-disciplinary research teams.

This non-credit, workforce development certificate program draws on established organizational psychology and team‑science frameworks—including the Team Developmental Arc and the Six Team Conditions for effectiveness—to guide participants through the stages of team formation, role clarity, and adaptive leadership, emphasizing both conceptual understanding and practical application. 

Sessions blend conceptual instruction with hands‑on practice, peer learning, and optional Coaching Circles for deeper application.

This event is held during the Autumn semester as six biweekly virtual ZOOM sessions and in the Spring semester as a two-day in-person workshop.
