Part 1.A paramount scientific challenge is to learn from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis given the uncertainty of the timing and permanent effects on international research. Even in the unlikely event of pandemic eradication, new work patterns may replace pre-pandemic norms and practices of international collaboration. While technological solutions matter for facilitating adaptation to the pandemic, social innovations at the individual and team levels are equally or more important for generating resilience within scientific teams during the protracted crisis. The future of international collaborative work can benefit from an understanding of how scientists have shown team resilience during this time, strengthening teams, and meaningfully transferring knowledge. In an increasingly globalized scientific landscape the grand policy question is how to internationalize scientific teams while, at the same time, responding to local demands. Our goal is to characterize different forms of social innovation in international collaborative work during the pandemic, while taking into account local contexts, opportunities, and institutional factors.Part 2.This project addresses the topic of global social innovation in science capacity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic by examining three intertwining features of the social dynamics of international collaborative teams: Social innovation, Adaptation and Resilience, and Learning and Transferability. Social innovation refers to new and different ways of modifying individual and group behavior within the context of team science. The research design builds on interdisciplinary knowledge about individual conduct and group dynamics within the context of teams. The project involves a series of case studies focused around distinct internationally collaborative teams across four countries: Austria, Latvia, Spain and the United States. Data are drawn from bibliometric data sources, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and a survey of researchers. Teams include new emergent collaborations that establish norms for interaction during the pandemic, or adaptive collaborations that adjust to the barriers and constraints of the pandemic. A novel methodological approach to identifying teams for case study is employed by implementing advanced computing techniques in a new and robust bibliometric dataset, complemented by other snowball sampling techniques. The project will conclude with an international workshop to share and disseminate findings that further international collaboration.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.

第 1 部分：考虑到时间的不确定性和对国际研究的永久影响，最重要的科学挑战是从 COVID-19 大流行危机中吸取教训。即使在不太可能发生的消除大流行的情况下，新的工作模式也可能取代大流行前的国际合作规范和做法。虽然技术解决方案对于促进适应这一流行病很重要，但个人和团队层面的社会创新对于在长期危机期间增强科学团队的复原力同样重要或更重要。了解科学家在此期间如何表现出团队韧性、加强团队和有意义地转移知识，可以使国际合作工作的未来受益。在日益全球化的科学格局中，重大政策问题是如何使科学团队国际化，同时满足当地需求。我们的目标是描述大流行期间国际协作工作中不同形式的社会创新的特征，同时考虑当地背景、机会和制度因素。第 2 部分。本项目讨论了面对全球科学能力社会创新的主题。通过研究国际协作团队的社会动态的三个相互交织的特征：社会创新、适应和恢复力以及学习和可迁移性，来研究 COVID-19 大流行。社会创新是指在团队科学背景下改变个人和群体行为的新的、不同的方式。研究设计建立在有关团队背景下的个人行为和群体动态的跨学科知识的基础上。该项目涉及一系列案例研究，重点围绕四个国家的不同国际合作团队：奥地利、拉脱维亚、西班牙和美国。数据来自文献计量数据源、半结构化访谈、焦点小组和研究人员调查。团队包括建立大流行期间互动规范的新的紧急合作，或适应大流行的障碍和限制的适应性合作。通过在新的、强大的文献计量数据集中实施先进的计算技术，并辅之以其他滚雪球抽样技术，采用了一种新颖的方法来确定案例研究团队。该项目将以一次国际研讨会结束，以分享和传播进一步国际合作的研究结果。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。
