Leading a multi-investigator or multidisciplinary research project is a completely different experience than leading a large research center or other multi-institutional effort, and why so few centers survive after initial funding. This workshop will explore timelines, team dynamics, identifying strengths/gaps, national positioning, strategic advisory boards, organizational structure (agency preference), strategies for finding/adding partners, oversight needs, beyond-research programs, political implications, existing/proximal global efforts, effort demands, and many other topics.
[For researchers ready to lead national/international large efforts.]
