摘要

Research conducted in interdisciplinary collaborative teams offers the potential to take on the large scale scientific problems that are becoming increasingly important. As many of these scientific problems rely heavily on data collection and analysis, applied statisticians often play critical roles on these type of teams. In this work, we search the literature to get a better idea regarding current best practices for interactions and organization of these types of collaborative projects. We then discuss our experiences on SETr and the National Marsh Synthesis Team (NAMASTE), two projects that combine statisticians and data scientists with ecologists to better understand the ways in which marsh ecosystems are being impacted by a changing climate, and compare and contrast these experiences with current best practices. Finally, we reflect on our experiences and elucidate a set of lessons that we have learned through participation in these two funded projects.
