Bowker Secures NSF Funding for “Team Science” Project
Geoffrey C. Bowker, Professor and Senior Scholar in Cyberscholarship, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) award to study the emergence, coalescence, and structural form of multidisciplinary distributed teams in science. Dr. Bowker will serve as Principal Investigator for the two-year project, “Team Science: Sociotechnical Dimensions of Distributed Work,” which the NSF recently funded for $249,411.
Bowker will work with Paul N. Edwards, Associate Professor at the School of Information, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. They will develop a typology of interdisciplinary scientific teams, survey a subset of teams on factors contributing to their success or failure, and craft a report to the NSF and other funders on how to foster emerging teams.
