Community Psychology Principles and Their Relevance to Two Examples of Team Science

Community Psychology Principles	Example 1: IRCSSA Evaluation & Educational Co-Facilitationa (interdisciplinary scientific teams of researchers only)	Example 2: Porch Light Evaluation & Consultation (transdisciplinary scientific teams of researchers & community stakeholders)
Relevance to Team Science
Theoretical and methodological pluralism	Cognitive integration of theories and methods as shared schemas to examine stress, self-control, and addiction across disciplinary boundaries Multi-level mixed methods integration of quantitative and qualitative data	CBPR process to arrive at shared schema and logic model for the participatory arts intervention Multi-level mixed methods integration of quantitative and qualitative data
Individual vs. systems change processes	Assessment of various indicators of change among consortium members following their involvement in project teams, work group, and overall consortium activities	Evaluation of intervention impact on individual-level recovery and wellbeing and community-level indicators of transformation; exploratory evaluation of intervention impact on agency culture and individual service use
Social ecological levels of analysis and intervention	Assessment of cognitive schemas, collaborative processes, and social networks on the productivity, impact, and interdisciplinarity of individual researchers, project teams, work groups, and the overall consortium	Examination of indicators of recovery, well-being, and transformation across individuals, agencies, and neighborhoods
Understanding human diversity and cultural contexts	Identification of and attention to diversities within teams and across teams by discipline, gender, race/ethnicity, age, faculty-student status, and academic rank	Identification of and attention to diversities within the project team by role (artist, participant, funder, service provider, researcher), race/ethnicity, language, local resident-outsider Culturally-situated participatory arts interventions by agency and neighborhood
Stakeholder participation, multi-level collaboration, and sense of community	Social integration of researchers, project teams, workgroups, and the overall consortium; facilitation of knowledge and resource exchange as well as fellowship through consortium-wide activities	CBPR that includes social integration of participants, artists, service providers, funders, family members, and researchers; facilitation of knowledge and resource exchange as well as fellowship through various project activities
Valuing and promoting empowerment and social justice, including liberation from oppression	Critical theory and feminism informs recognition of power dynamics as these overlap with diversities within the consortium	Critical theory and feminism informs recognition of power dynamics that overlap with diversities within the collaborative Empowerment and social justice promotion and emancipation through participatory public art is an intended outgrowth of the project
Developing empirically-based models for action	Explicitly seeks to obtain empirical science to determine whether interdisciplinary team science leads to accelerated discoveries with greater impact Explicit objective underlying the development and dissemination of Science to Policy Briefs	Funding explicitly assesses whether the benefits of participatory public arts involvement are empirically-supported by a rigorous evaluation
