Interview participants reported a range of challenges related to embarking upon and implementing research that aimed for TD integration. As a group, they encountered five main types of challenges over the course of their TD team science projects: (1) limited published guidance for how to engage in TD team science, when TREC I was implemented; (2) conceptual and scientific challenges inherent to efforts to achieve TD integration; (3) discipline-based differences in collaborators' values, terminology, methods, and work styles; (4) project management challenges involved in TD team science; and (5) traditional incentive and reward systems that do not recognize or reward TD research and team science.
