Michelle Bennett,  \nMichael O’Rourke,  \nand Edgar Cardenas  \nContents  \nOverview 4  \nInstructions 5  \nTeam Management 8  \nTeam Dynamics 10  \nTeam Communication 12  \nAppendix 15  \nContext  \nToday, national-scale challenges cannot be solved by a single discipline, which is why the National Science Foundation’s is bringing together convergent teams to merge ideas, approaches, and technologies to drive innovation. If you are working on complex challenegs, you are expected to work efficiently and effectively with team members from other disciplines and professionson use-inspired research project. This requires youu to attend to the process of collaboration if you want to facilitate collaaborative success . The science is critically important, of course, but unless your team works efficiently and effectively, you will have difficulty doing all the work necessary produce your best results.  \nOverview  \nPurpose  \nThis Collaboration Agreement template is designed to help your team be explicit about the details of your collaboration. It is important for your team to devote effort early to designing your collaboration so that you are set up for success and can focus on the science and technology of your project.  \nThis template contains questions in several topic areas that guide team reflection on what is working and not working, discussion of strategies for working together successfully, and development of approaches for preemptively addressing potential conflicts. It is intended to facilitate dialogue about shared rules and norms of collaboration and open pathways for anticipating, identifying, and addressing obstacles as they arise. Your team includes a diversity of disciplines and professions, personalities, and work and communication styles and this template can surface and elucidate these differences. If you are willing to acknowledge, examine, and develop a shared understanding of how to address them, this can propel your team toward more successful outcomes.  \nObjectives  \nThis template is designed to assist you in:  \n• Making explicit and therefore transparent important aspects of your approach to collaboration  \n• Ensuring you have a shared vision for your work together  \n• Recognizing that your science is dynamic and will require you to adapt over time  \n• Recognizing that your working relationships are dynamic, individually and as a team, and will require flexibility and a willingness to adapt over time  \n• Establishing expectations for working together, including what you do and say  \n• Preparing for disagreements and even conflicts, especially in the early stages and along the way when there are changes in team composition  \n4  \nCollaboration Agreement  \nInstructions  \nThis template consists of three sections devoted to specific topics. Each section contains dialogue prompts and questions that address important aspects of its topic. We encourage you to interact with this template in the following way:  \n1. Read through the full template to familiarize yourself with the motivation behind it and the topics that it raises.  \n2. After selecting a section to work on, discuss the dialogue prompts at the top of the section with your team. These prompts are designed to highlight the theme of the section and can facilitate explicit expression of the full range of relevant views in the team. As they are rating response items, we would encourage each teammate to respond to them individually and then discuss them collectively ina dialogue facilitated by the PI or the project manager. In the dialogue, teammates should articulate and compare their reasons for responding as they do, using the prompts to highlight aspects of the collaboration that could profit from further attention. This dialogue should help enhance mutual understanding in the team so that it is easier to reply to the questions.
