Teams have emerged as a pivotal form for organizing science efforts. Team goals and issues such as goal alignment are generally considered to be essential to team success. However, given the interdisciplinary and pluralistic goals associated with translational science, team goals become a challenging area for studies that cannot be reconciled without attention to the broader institutional contexts of translational teams. In this commentary, we draw attention to how different goals in team science can be rooted in the broader institutional context and associated logics of action. For the science of team science (SciTS) to impact practice, it is imperative that we be clear about the logic of team goals and their relation to preferred patterns of organizing. We conclude with a reflection on how contextual issues should be at the foreground of SciTS along with the other important issues of team science.
团队已经成为组织科学工作的关键形式。团队目标和问题，如目标一致性，通常被认为是团队成功的关键。然而，考虑到转化科学所涉及的跨学科和多元化目标，团队目标成为一个具有挑战性的领域，如果不关注转化团队更广泛的机构背景，就无法解决这些目标。在这篇评论中，我们提请注意团队科学中的不同目标如何植根于更广泛的机构背景和相关的行动逻辑。为了使团队科学的科学（SciTS）对实践产生影响，我们必须明确团队目标的逻辑及其与首选组织模式的关系。最后，我们反思了如何将背景问题置于 SciTS 的前沿，以及团队科学的其他重要问题。
