Measuring team science: Associations between a clinical-translational science institute and investigator ego networks.

ABSTRACT: The National Institutes of Health's Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) institutes have been created, in part, to have a positive impact on collaboration and team science. This study is the first to examine the associations between a CTSA hub, the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR), and investigators' ego networks.
