The Great CTSA Team Science Contest (GTSC) was developed to discover how Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs promote and support team science [1]. The purpose of this study was a secondary qualitative analysis of the GTSC submissions to better understand the diversity of team science initiatives across the CTSA consortium.
Secondary qualitative analysis of the GTSC data addressed the following research questions, which defined the top-level coding: (1) What CTSA component sponsored it? (2) Who was the team doing the work? (3) Who were the intended beneficiaries? (4) What was the intended outcome? (5) What strategies did they use? (6) What translational science (TS) stage was addressed? (7) How do they align with the NCATS team science strategic goals? (8) How do the CTSA's team science efforts align with the National Academies Research Council (NRC) recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of team science?
The GTSC received 170 submissions from 45 unique CTSA hubs. Qualitative analysis revealed a great variety of team science strategies for virtually all team science stakeholders. In addition to strategies to promote team science, results show successful examples that focus on outcomes and illustrate ways of measuring success.
The GTSC shows that the CTSA consortium is involved in an extremely diverse array of team science activities, which align well with both the NRC recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of team science and the NCATS strategic goals for team science. Future research should evaluate the efficacy of team science strategies.
大临床与转化科学奖团队科学竞赛（GTSC）旨在探索临床与转化科学奖（CTSA）中心如何促进和支持团队科学[1]。本研究的目的是对GTSC提交的材料进行二次定性分析，以更好地了解CTSA联盟中团队科学计划的多样性。
对GTSC数据进行的二次定性分析解决了以下研究问题，这些问题定义了顶级编码：（1）是CTSA的哪个组成部分赞助了它？（2）开展这项工作的团队是谁？（3）预期的受益者是谁？（4）预期的成果是什么？（5）他们使用了什么策略？（6）涉及到了哪个转化科学（TS）阶段？（7）它们如何与美国国立转化医学推进中心（NCATS）的团队科学战略目标保持一致？（8）CTSA的团队科学工作如何与美国国家科学院研究委员会（NRC）关于提高团队科学有效性的建议保持一致？
GTSC收到了来自45个不同CTSA中心的170份提交材料。定性分析揭示了几乎所有团队科学利益相关者的多种团队科学策略。除了促进团队科学的策略外，结果还展示了关注成果并说明衡量成功方式的成功案例。
GTSC表明CTSA联盟参与了极其多样的团队科学活动，这些活动与NRC关于提高团队科学有效性的建议以及NCATS团队科学战略目标都非常契合。未来的研究应该评估团队科学策略的有效性。
