BECON 2003 SYMPOSIUM ON CATALYZING TEAM SCIENCE The BECON 2003 Symposium on "Catalyzing Team Science" was held June 23-24, 2003, at the Natcher Conference Center on the NIH Main Campus in Bethesda, Maryland. This was the sixth in a series of annual meetings coordinated by the BECON on topics of emerging national interest. The goal of the symposium was to examine the forces encouraging and discouraging team approaches to biomedical research and to explore ways in which the NIH, academia, and others can stimulate and reward team efforts. About 350 attendees participated in the plenary presentations, topical breakout sessions, and case studies of effective team science. Drs. Janie Fouke of Michigan State University and Keith Brodie of Duke University were the extramural co-chairs for the meeting. Dr. Daniel Sullivan of the National Cancer Institute was the NIH Chair. BECON presented an award to Dr. John Watson of the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in appreciation of his contributions to the Consortium and the field of bioengineering. In the near future, the materials presented in the plenary sessions and the preliminary recommendations from the breakout sessions, will be posted on this website. In addition, the final report summarizing the symposium results will also be available here.
