In terms of scientific reward and incentive systems more broadly, interview participants cited limited funding opportunities for TD team science despite the growing popularity of the approach. They also said there continued to be challenges in publishing TD work, as many journals are discipline-specific. Another challenge was their colleagues’ general lack of familiarity with TD research, in the context of peer review. Colleagues held decision making roles as institutional review board members, grant application reviewers, manuscript reviewers, and promotion and tenure review board members. Interview participants stated that colleagues’ lack of familiarity with the TD approach could negatively impact these critical review processes, potentially adversely affecting the progression of one's research and career.
