This project studies how effective interdisciplinary research collaborations emerge in modern science. Increasingly, solutions to scientific and engineering problems require multidisciplinary distributed teams, but little is known about their emergence, coalescence, structural form and success. This research develops and tests the value of a typology of such teams. Conditions that may foster formation of enduring and productive teams will also be considered including the role of leaders and the importance of new social software and web-based collaboration tools. Changing models of science and the appropriateness of scientific institutions and infrastructures to support these new models will be identified. This research will contribute to research on collaboration, institutions, the role of infrastructure, and the science of science. New cyberinfrastructure has enabled transformative changes in collaborative science and engineering, but little is known about the new forms that collaborations are taking and the role of new social and Web 2.0 technologies in their creation and development. This study will identify new forms of scientific and engineering collaborations that are emerging, how they be can be identified and catalyzed early, and how they can best be supported and nurtured. Investigating the emergence of new collaborations, new collaborative forms, and new types of scientific work enabled by changes in cyberinfrastructure is a crucial step in learning how to identify, catalyze and support the nascent teams that will be central to future advances in science and engineering. This will be helpful to funding agencies, and other research institutions. In addition, cyberinfrastructure can enhance the participation of under-represented groups and minority institutions in scientific and engineering collaborations.

该项目研究了现代科学中如何出现有效的跨学科研究合作。 科学和工程问题的解决方案越来越多地需要多学科分布式团队，但对它们的出现，合并，结构形式和成功知之甚少。 这项研究开发和测试了此类团队类型学的价值。 还将考虑可能促进持久和生产团队形成的条件，包括领导者的作用以及新的社会软件和基于Web的协作工具的重要性。 不断变化的科学模型以及支持这些新模型的科学机构和基础设施的适当性。 这项研究将有助于研究合作，机构，基础设施的作用和科学科学的研究。 新的Cyber​​inFrastructure启用了协作科学和工程的变革性变化，但对合作所采用的新形式以及新的社交和Web 2.0技术在创建和开发中的作用知之甚少。这项研究将确定正在出现的科学和工程合作的新形式，如何及早确定和催化它们，以及如何最好地支持和培养它们。 研究新的合作，新的合作形式以及通过网络基础设施的变化来实现的新型科学工作的出现是学习如何识别，催化和支持新生的团队的至关重要的一步。 这将有助于资助机构和其他研究机构。 此外，网络基础设施可以增强代表性不足的群体和少数民族在科学和工程合作中的参与。
