Collaboration and Team Science Program
The SVPHS Research Program Development Team supports several programs that are designed to promote collaborative research at University of Utah Health. These programs address the needs of research teams at multiple stages-from nascent groups to mature teams that are ready to apply for programmatic grants-positioning them for maximum success and impact.
COLLABORATION AND TEAM SCIENCE PROGRAM
Goal: Support University of Utah Health faculty across the spectrum of team science from team formation to proposal submission.
Program Details:
Brainstorming Groups

Working Groups
- Support to strengthen collaborations through regular working group meetings, team science activities, and targeted strategic intelligence analyses.
Proposal Development
- Proposal development support for programmatic and other complex grant submissions (e.g., project management, drafting administrative documents, drafting letters of support, editing, graphics support).
