Abstrakt:	Introduction: The New Jersey Kids Study (NJKS) is a transdisciplinary statewide initiative to understand influences on child health, development, and disease. We conducted a mixed-methods study of project planning teams to investigate team effectiveness and relationships between team dynamics and quality of deliverables. Methods: Ten theme-based working groups (WGs) (e.g., Neurodevelopment, Nutrition) informed protocol development and submitted final reports. WG members ( n = 79, 75%) completed questionnaires including de-identified demographic and professional information and a modified TeamSTEPPS Team Assessment Questionnaire (TAQ). Reviewers independently evaluated final reports using a standardized tool. We analyzed questionnaire results and final report assessments using linear regression and performed constant comparative qualitative analysis to identify central themes. Results: WG-level factors associated with greater team effectiveness included proportion of full professors ( β = 31.24, 95% CI 27.65-34.82), team size ( β = 0.81, 95% CI 0.70-0.92), and percent dedicated research effort ( β = 0.11, 95% CI 0.09-0.13); age distribution ( β = -2.67, 95% CI -3.00 to -2.38) and diversity of school affiliations ( β = -33.32, 95% CI -36.84 to -29.80) were inversely associated with team effectiveness. No factors were associated with final report assessments. Perceptions of overall initiative leadership were associated with expressed enthusiasm for future NJKS participation. Qualitative analyses of final reports yielded four themes related to team science practices: organization and process, collaboration, task delegation, and decision-making patterns. Conclusions: We identified several correlates of team effectiveness in a team science initiative's early planning phase. Extra effort may be needed to bridge differences in team members' backgrounds to enhance the effectiveness of diverse teams. This work also highlights leadership as an important component in future investigator engagement. Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. (© The Author(s) 2024.)
