Although digital communication is a key component of team research, studies on the practice of collaborative science also demonstrate that face-to-face interaction is needed to successfully advance research, which can be challenging to achieve when investigators are located throughout the United States and in other countries. NSF/SAR (School for Advanced Research) research team seminars benefit the field of anthropology by providing important opportunities for in-person collaborative interdisciplinary research, given the lack of resources to bring busy scholars together for an extended time that is free of everyday professional responsibilities. Supporting both existing and new research teams of U.S. and international scholars with in-person focused, uninterrupted time to discuss, synthesize, and analyze results of their collaborative research, this project will result in plans for successful completion, expansion, and development of new projects that will benefit and enrich the field of anthropology. This project will also support the NSF's goals of building scientific infrastructure through collaboration and increasing understanding of the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability.This project addresses the advancement of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research in anthropology by an in-person team of scholars. The project also increases discovery and understanding, as well as the quality and importance of the products resulting from this type of research framework. With NSF funding, the School for Advanced Research (SAR), an advanced research center for anthropology and allied disciplines located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, will implement three years of research team seminars in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology. Eligible research teams will have a primary focus on a question of anthropological importance that is timely and addresses a specific need. Seminars will be selected by an expert panel of SAR staff and external scholars through an annual competition. For each seminar, NSF funding will cover domestic and international travel, lodging, meals, and other related costs for up to 10 participants (6 U.S. and 4 international scholars) to meet in the SAR Seminar House for three days. Funding will also support a portion of SAR staff salaries to administer the project and advertising of the research team opportunity. Organizers of the research team seminars are expected to develop a meeting schedule in advance and provide SAR with a report after the seminar concludes that describes activities and results, including plans for new research, publications in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and conference presentations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

尽管数字通信是团队研究的关键组成部分，但对协作科学实践的研究也表明，成功推进研究需要面对面的互动，当研究人员分布在美国各地和其他国家时，实现这一点可能具有挑战性。其他国家。由于缺乏资源，无法让忙碌的学者长时间聚集在一起，而无需承担日常专业责任，因此 NSF/SAR（高级研究学院）研究团队研讨会为面对面的跨学科合作研究提供了重要机会，从而使人类学领域受益。该项目将为美国和国际学者的现有和新研究团队提供不间断的面对面讨论、综合和分析合作研究结果的支持，从而制定成功完成、扩展和开发新项目的计划这将有利于并丰富人类学领域。该项目还将支持美国国家科学基金会的目标，即通过合作和增进对人类社会和文化变异的原因、后果和复杂性的理解来建设科学基础设施。该项目致力于推动人类学领域的协作、跨学科和国际研究的发展。 ——学者团队。该项目还增加了发现和理解，以及此类研究框架产生的产品的质量和重要性。在 NSF 的资助下，位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的人类学及相关学科高级研究中心高级研究学院 (SAR) 将举办为期三年的文化人类学、生物人类学和考古学研究团队研讨会。符合条件的研究团队将主要关注具有人类学重要性的问题，该问题是及时的并满足特定需求。研讨会将由特区工作人员和外部学者组成的专家小组通过年度竞赛选出。对于每场研讨会，NSF 的资金将用于支付最多 10 名参与者（6 名美国学者和 4 名国际学者）在 SAR 研讨会大楼举行为期三天的国内和国际旅行、住宿、餐饮和其他相关费用。资金还将支持特区工作人员工资的一部分，用于管理该项目和宣传研究团队的机会。研究团队研讨会的组织者应提前制定会议时间表，并在研讨会结束后向SAR提供一份报告，描述活动和结果，包括新研究计划、同行评审期刊和编辑卷上的出版物以及会议演讲该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
