Semi-structured in-depth interview guides were developed for individuals in each of the roles identified above. Each guide included a core set of questions relevant to all interview participants (Appendix A) and additional questions tailored to the individual's particular role in TREC I (See for example, 27-29). Interviews solicited perspectives on the challenges of using the TD team science approach, facilitating factors and strategies for success in cross-disciplinary and TD team science, the broad impacts of participating in TD team science in the context of TREC I, and recommendations for future TD team science initiatives. Members of the TREC I Evaluation Working Group provided input on drafts of the interview guides.
