Collaboration Tools for Team Scientists
Authorship agreements, mentor compacts, and other tools can help researchers establish clear expectations and frank communication with teammates, ensuring faster progress and fewer pitfalls.
Guidance for Team Scientists

Human Centered Design to Enhance Innovation and Impact
Human centered design (HCD) is a structured yet playful approach to problem solving that puts people at the center of the design process. Using methods that are dynamic, visual, and participatory, HCD helps:
- Draw out diverse stakeholder voices
- Spark out-of-the-box thinking
- Generate more innovative and impactful solutions
Whether you are new to HCD or an experienced hand, you will find opportunities to expand your HCD skills and networks
