Purpose
CREDITS was established in 2015 to build capacity for collaborative teams in California. Drawing on the organizational and social psychology literature about diversity on teams, and on the growing field of team science, CREDITS was designed to:
- Prepare junior scholars to lead, manage, and participate in research teams;
- Communicate to university leaders the value of team scholarship for innovation, productivity, and research funding;
- Provide university research leaders with tools for organizational change in the research enterprise;
- Influence the design of tenure and promotion policies to recognize and reward teaming and co-authorship.
Goals
Building on the prior work of CREDITS, the CREDITS RD Community of Practice will work collaboratively to design new materials, tools, and training workshops/modules to help research development professionals develop and support research teams at their institutions.
