Addressing complex global issues requires innovative and synergistic partnerships across sectors, disciplines, and geo-political boundaries to advance science, technology, and policy. The complex endeavor of collaborative, international, large-scale, interdisciplinary research requires coordinated support and an adaptive approach to meet the varied needs of the project teams. The Toolbox Dialogue Initiative Center, based at Michigan State University, supports awardees of the NSF Global Centers (GC) Program in this endeavor. It provides coordinated team science training to build team cohesion and momentum in the early stage of their projects. This project supports GC awardees in thinking strategically about communication within their centers and in managing the processes required for interdisciplinary, convergent research.This three-year project aims to support Track 1 and Track 2 awardees of the NSF GC Program by building team science capacity within each project as well as community across projects. The two main elements of this project are: 1) annual, in-person, community-building meetings, and 2) virtual interactive seminars and workshops. The annual community-building meetings brings together GC awardees in Tracks 1 and 2 to support resource sharing and knowledge building around best practices for use-inspired research and education, multi-stakeholder engagement, and workforce development in the context of international, interdisciplinary, collaborative research. The virtual interactive sessions serve the needs and interests of the GC awardees as they design and sustain their global research centers; they provide opportunities for continuous learning and knowledge exchange between the annual meetings, and leverages relationships among investigators across cohorts. These interactive sessions also provide an opportunity for each team to strengthen its communicative and collaborative capacity through participation in a Toolbox dialogue-based workshop. Together these elements provide investigators with opportunities to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of interdisciplinary, international, research collaborations.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.

解决复杂的全球问题需要跨部门，学科和地缘政治界限的创新和协同伙伴关系，以推进科学，技术和政策。协作，国际，大规模，跨学科研究的复杂努力需要协调的支持和适应性方法，以满足项目团队的各种需求。总部位于密歇根州立大学的工具箱对话计划中心支持NSF Global Centers（GC）计划的获奖者。 它提供了协调的团队科学培训，以在项目的早期阶段建立团队的凝聚力和动力。该项目支持GC获奖者在战略上思考其中心内的沟通，并管理跨学科的，融合研究所需的流程。这三年的项目旨在通过在每个项目中建立团队科学能力以及各个项目的社区来支持NSF GC计划的Track 1和Track 2获奖者。该项目的两个主要要素是：1）年度，面对面的社区建设会议以及2）虚拟互动研讨会和讲习班。年度社区建设会议将曲目1和2的GC获奖者汇集在一起​​，以支持资源共享和知识建设围绕使用启发的研究和教育，多利益相关者参与以及在国际跨学科，合作，协作研究的最佳实践。虚拟互动会议在GC获奖者设计和维持其全球研究中心时的需求和利益；它们为年度会议之间的持续学习和知识交流提供了机会，以及各个同伙之间的调查人员之间的关系。这些互动会议还为每个团队提供了一个机会，可以通过参加基于工具箱对话的研讨会来增强其交流和协作能力。这些要素共同为调查人员提供了机会，以提高跨学科，国际，研究合作的效率和有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估值得支持。
