Using Network Science to Identify and Bridge Scientific Communities at a Research University

At the 2018 Translational Science Conference, BEBR’s Network Science Program team gave a presentation on their data analysis techniques and intervention strategies. The goal of the Network Science Program team is to expand network science and the inner workings behind “team science” at UF by mapping and analyzing collaboration networks across CTSA hubs and designing network interventions to stimulate collaborative research at UF and across the CTSA consortium. The program’s research is based on collective data from publications, grant proposals, and office space usage, as well as membership in PhD committees.
