Interdisciplinary team science involves research collaboration among investigators from different disciplines who work interdependently to share leadership and responsibility. Although over the past several decades there has been an increase in knowledge produced by science teams, the public has not been meaningfully engaged in this process. We argue that contemporary changes in how science is understood and practiced offer an opportunity to reconsider engaging the public as active participants on teams and coin the term participatory team science to describe public engagement in team science. We discuss how public engagement can enhance knowledge within the team to address complex problems and suggest a different organizing framework for team science that aligns better with how teams operate and with participatory approaches to research. We also summarize work on public engagement in science, describe opportunities for various types of engagement, and provide an example of participatory team science carried out across research phases. We conclude by discussing implications of participatory team science for psychology, including changing the default when assembling an interdisciplinary science team by identifying meaningful roles for public engagement through participatory team science.

跨学科团队科学涉及来自不同学科的研究人员之间的合作研究，他们相互依存，共同领导和承担责任。尽管在过去几十年中，科学团队的知识产出有所增加，但公众并没有真正参与到这个过程中。我们认为，当前科学界对科学的理解和实践的变化为重新考虑让公众作为积极的参与者加入团队提供了机会，并将这一术语命名为“参与式团队科学”，以描述公众在团队科学中的参与。我们讨论了公众参与如何增强团队内部解决复杂问题的知识，并提出了一种不同的团队科学组织框架，使其更符合团队的运作方式和参与式研究方法。我们还总结了科学领域的公众参与工作，描述了各种类型的参与机会，并提供了一个跨研究阶段进行的参与式团队科学的例子。最后，我们讨论了参与式团队科学对心理学的影响，包括通过参与式团队科学确定公众参与的有意义角色，改变组建跨学科科学团队的默认方式。
