Wright Center professor joins board of international organization
Deborah DiazGranados, Ph.D., the Wright Center’s director of evaluation and co-director of Team Science, has been voted in as a board member of the International Network for the Science of Team Science, a nonprofit for researchers, scholars, policymakers and institutional leaders engaged in enhancing and fostering team science.
The network held a virtual four-day conference last week, the 11th annual Science of Team Science Conference, co-hosted by Duke University. DiazGranados presented on practical insights of doing team science during the pandemic.
Joined by researchers from Duke, North Carolina State University, University of California, Irvine and University of Central Florida, DiazGranados offered expertise on team formation, research leadership and overcoming the challenges to conducting research in unprecedented times.
Team science is an effort to address scientific challenges through the collaboration of professionals trained in different fields. And DiazGranados, who is an organizational psychologist and a professor in VCU’s School of Medicine, brings knowledge of emerging scholars’ needs in clinical and translational science to the diverse board of the network.
Her tenure on the board begins on July 1 and is a 3-year term.
