Few studies have utilized qualitative methods to assess the perceived effectiveness of collaboration among research center interdisciplinary team scientists. Stages of team development served as the theoretical framework to characterize minority serving institution (MSI) and predominantly White institutions (PWI) participants' challenges and successes during a National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsored cancer health disparities training and research program. We present the finding of an inductive analysis of four open-ended survey questions across two years. Fostering an awareness of the inherently taxing, yet centrality of group (team) development may advance an understanding of team dynamics and lead to increased team cohesion and productivity. In conclusion, we provide recommendations to assist multiple principal investigators who embark on team development.
很少有研究采用定性方法来评估研究中心跨学科团队科学家之间合作的感知效果。团队发展阶段作为理论框架，用于描述少数族裔服务机构（MSI）和以白人为主的机构（PWI）的参与者在国立卫生研究院（NIH）资助的癌症健康差异培训和研究项目中的挑战与成功。我们展示了对两年内四个开放式调查问题的归纳分析结果。培养对团队（小组）发展中固有压力但核心地位的认识，可能会增进对团队动态的理解，并提高团队凝聚力和生产力。总之，我们提供建议以协助开展团队发展的多位首席研究员。
