Dear Colleagues,
Faculty, researchers, and post-doctoral scholars from UC and CSU are invited to apply to attend the 2017 CREDITS Team Science Retreat, to be held October 13-15, 2017 at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center in Lake Arrowhead, CA. This program is funded by the NSF, the Elsevier Foundation, and the UC Office of the President.
Collaborative, interdisciplinary team science-based research has become increasingly central in scientific discovery. Team science garners more funding, and more impactful research and publications. Having a strong network of collaborators and mentors is critical to a productive and successful academic career.
In a small group environment, the CREDITS Team Science Retreat will promote team science competencies and leadership capacity of STEM faculty, researchers, and post-doctoral scholars across campuses of the University of California and Cal State University systems. In particular, the Retreat targets women and underrepresented minorities who want to become involved in team science initiatives. A new cohort of researchers will be selected to participate each year.
The Retreat features presentations, workshops, breakout sessions, and one-on-one consultation on team science dynamics and leadership, research design, and proposal writing.
Costs for transportation, accommodations, and meals will be covered for all successful applicants. The Retreat also provides quality childcare at no additional cost for all participants, fostering a climate of family-friendly inclusion. You will be responsible for the cost of travel, accommodations, and meals for your children.

The deadline to apply is Monday, June 5.
Thank you.
