Nonetheless, interview participants identified important ongoing challenges to TD team science specifically related to incentive and reward systems related to promotion review, funding, publishing, and peer review. These challenges point to needed work by academic institutions, funding agencies, and journal editors to enhance support for TD approaches. Such support will include promotion and tenure policies that better recognize and reward TD research and team science; institutional policies that support cross-departmental and crossschool collaborations; funding opportunities designed to support collaborative and integrative science; guidelines for review of TD team science IRB applications, grant proposals, and publications for peer reviewers; and additional publishing venues for TD research. These changes are already beginning to occur, and more change in this direction is needed to maximally support effective TD team science.
