Leading the CEINT Data Integration Team to design & build a resource for our center and the broader community • An Information Technology project: Build a cyber infrastructure and
associated tools; populate with data. • A research project: What questions needs to be answered; how best to
do this? • A community-building project: Who else has made progress in this area;
how best to leverage and integrate previous efforts? • A marketing/education effort: Demonstrate to researchers the value of
participation; learn how to meet their needs.

Functions of an Interdisciplinary Executive Scientist
• Hearing enough conversations throughout the team to identify where clarification and connection are needed
• Arranging time-sensitive communications or sub-teams that enable the iterative feedback we rely upon for efficient science
• Designing meetings that present synthesized issues and facilitate group discussion oriented toward decisions
• Following up on collaborative opportunities and brokering the knowledge necessary to feed them
• Synthesizing research to identify common questions and common disconnects in the “information supply chain”
• Participating and learning from this field of Team Science
• Some of these functions exist in other jobs • Responsibility for them is diffuse • Need goal-specific scientific expertise,
interdisciplinary knowledge, and specific facilitative skills.
• Need to attract talent
Interdisciplinary Executive Scientist Interest Group
Forming a community of practice
• Understanding roles
• Comparing language & experiences
• Sharing strategies
• Drawing on team science literature

Team science coaching from the trenches I have been practicing team science coaching for 8
years, without any formal training in the science of team science
The other members of the UUHS research unit also have no formal training in the science of team science
I will share three cases of how our research unit operates to build and grow teams and their research programs
I will discuss how we are putting together our own ad hoc professional development program

Challenge 1: Team building
Institutional priorities: Increase NIDDK funding to UUHS Integrate Bariatric Surgery group into the Diabetes and
Metabolism Center
Bridget identified an RFA that presented an opportunity to advance both institutional priorities NIDDK RFA: Psychosocial and Behavioral Aspects of Bariatric
Surgery
Bridget set out to recruit the strongest team to respond to this RFA from our University of Utah community
The team science coach as matchmaker

What roles did Bridget play? - Coordinated meetings, set agendas, and communicated meeting
minutes/outcomes / action items to the group after each meeting
- Coordinated the involvement of team members
- Corresponded with the program officer
- Determined everyone’s skill set and willingness to contribute to the project and grant writing, and delegated responsibility for grant sections
- Wrote grant sections, i.e., abstract, narrative, facilities, budget, budget justification, letters of support
- Acquired preliminary data from the UUHS Enterprise Data Warehouse
- Worked with team to arrive at compromises re: budget support; this process helped to set perspective about the project and everyone’s role(s) within it.
Team activities facilitated by Coach Hughes Submitted a $3.3million grant proposal to NIDDK to to
identify psychosocial predictors of bariatric surgery outcomes
Bridget worked with Ibele and Coon, two investigators who had never met prior to working on the NIDDK proposal, to obtain internal CTSA funding to establish a Bariatric Biorepository
Bridget is working with Ted Adams and Paul Hopkins to find funding for their longitudinal Gastric Bypass Outcomes Study

Personalized Health Program Coach: Emily Coonrod, PhD
Personalized Health / Utah Genome Project
Diagnostics
Drugs
The Utah Genome Project is a large-scale, human genome
sequencing and analysis initiative to discover new disease-
causing genes and to develop genetic diagnostics and precision
therapies that will transform healthcare.
Challenge 2: Push an established team to pursue a new opportunity
UUHS recently invested in strategic hires to build a Utah Center for Genetic Discovery, so the core team is in place
NHGRI called for proposals for Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMG) to solve at least 300 Mendelian disorders
Applicants required to demonstrate that they had sufficient patient samples to feed the sequencing pipeline for at least the first 6 months, and a solid recruitment plan to refill the pipeline over the 4-year funding period
The ~$20million budget must be spent on sequencing, and not on sample solicitation
No relationship with many UUHS physicians who treat patients with Mendelian disorders
UUHS doesn’t see enough patients to fill the pipeline
No grant budget for sample solicitation distanced potential clinical partners
Reached out to specialty clinics to engage physicians and to assess which samples should be included
Established partnerships with St Louis Children’s Hospital, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and Vanderbilt University
Secured commitment of institutional funds to support salary for clinical research coordinators
Obstacle Solution facilitated by Emily
Filling the gaps
Coach Coonrod bridges the research and clinical worlds
Emily sought out opportunities to understand how the clinical side of the UUHS research enterprise works Spent several days in the CTSA clinical services core to understand how
the core operates and the services it provides Spent time with the director of the Pediatric Phenotyping Core in the
hospital to understand how they operate
Emily educated clinicians about the types of samples most relevant to the CMG Emily was well positioned to lead the education/communication efforts
because of her background in genetics, next generation sequencing, and gene discovery techniques
Emily worked with the Division of Medical Ethics to develop a new, uniform consent process for use across all partner sites to streamline sample solicitation

Disease Pillars and Methodological Foundations
Team science coaches are like the thalamus: they coordinate activities between brain and body

Coach The Brain: Institutional vision, mission, goals
The Body: Researcher ideas, needs, priorities
Planting seeds, and helping them to grow Becca runs a seed grant program to enable teams of investigators to
pursue innovative ideas
Becca advised a newly formed team on how to frame their project, Tracking Arc by Super-Resolution Microscopy in Living Synapses, to be responsive to the seed grant program
Because Becca knew the details of their proposal, and the strengths of the investigators, she recognized that a portion of the proposed project would be responsive to a limited submission, extramural award from the Brain Research Foundation (BRF), for which she was searching for candidates
Becca discussed the extramural opportunity with the PI, then she adapted the seed grant proposal to meet the BRF requirements; the BRF pre-proposal was selected by the internal University committee to send on to the BRF for consideration
Some subject expertise required….
When I asked Becca how she knew the project would be a good bet for the seed grant, and would be competitive for the BRF award, she responded: The technique alone is transformative, and given the many roles played by Arc, the knowledge gained will have widespread implications.
A good team science coach has enough fundamental knowledge of and passion for a field to be as engaged in advancing the project as the scientific leaders
Team science coaches are research partners We engage in strategic hiring to build teams We help to align research programs with
institutional goals We identify internal and external collaborators
and build relationships with them We brainstorm with teams, write portions of their
grants, identify and fill holes in their research plans, and weave compelling narratives
We are hard-working, friendly, and enthusiastic We are vigilant about stewarding our
relationships and navigating University politics We seek new funding relationships We promote our teams’ work to the public
