Transdisciplinary collaborations are vital to address complex health-related problems. Reducing disparities in chroni c diseases challenges individual researchers and teams. Therefore\, a mult icenter research consortium with a Team Science approach could lead to tra nsformational scientific breakthroughs and novel solutions advancing healt h equity in multiple chronic diseases with common pathways. This panel pro vides Team Science case study examples from establishing the Research Coor dinating Center of the NIMHD Multiple Chronic Diseases Disparities Researc h Consortium\, known as the Health Equity Action Network and referred to a s the Consortium. The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Coordi nating Center\, comprised of Organization and Administration\, Research Co ordination and Data Management\, Investigator Skills Development\, and Com munity Engagement Units\, provides resources and technical assistance to 1 1 US Research Centers. The Consortium faced many of the challenges listed in the National Academies’ Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science (Co oke &\; Hilton\, eds.\, 2015)\, e.g.\, large size\, high diversity\, ge ographical dispersion\, and fluidly structured teams. Dr. Gansky\, a Coord inating Center MPI\, will present an overview of the Research Consortium a nd Coordinating Center structure and goals. The Consortium utilizes four W orking Groups – Common Data Element and Data Harmonization\, Community Eng agement\, Investigator Skills Development\, and Project Managers – as cros s-Center groups to facilitate setting direction\, creating alignment\, and building commitment. Dr. Rebchook\, Community Engagement Unit Associate D irector\, will discuss the Community Engagement Working Group (CEWG) that serves as a Community of Practice creating opportunities for networking\, collaborating\, and connecting across the Consortium. The CEWG brings toge ther community members and transdisciplinary researchers with different ba ckgrounds\, experiences\, and perspectives from each Research Center to di scuss best practices in community engagement and to design and implement a quantitative cross-consortium evaluation. Using Goodman’s Research Engage ment Survey Tool\, the CEWG is measuring the quality and quantity of commu nity engagement at the Centers to ultimately assess the association betwee n community engagement scores and health outcomes. Additionally\, the CEWG supports a qualitative evaluation using multiple case studies based on th e National Academies Framework’s four “petals” of meaningful community eng agement (e.g.\, strengthened alliances and partnerships\, expanded knowled ge\, improved health and healthcare programs and policies\, thriving commu nities). Dr. Banava\, the Coordinating Center Science Coordinator\, will p resent the development of a Comprehensive Collaboration Plan (referred to as The Plan) incorporating the ten components of Team Science (Hall et al. \, 2019) and their corresponding elements. The Plan has been carefully ada pted and tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of the Consortium. Th e Plan provides a roadmap that outlines strategies and actions necessary f or productive team functioning and successful collaboration across the Con sortium. The Plan is designed to be dynamic during the collaboration perio d\, allowing for adjustments to be made as needed. Following presentations \, panelists will discuss questions\, including:  1- What approaches help enhance team functioning and cohesion for members with varying experience\ , expertise\, and knowledge in large\, geographically dispersed teams?    2- What strategies successfully encourage responsive communication\, inclu ding Center research projects providing process implementation and process measure information?  3- How can large teams benefit from a Comprehensive Collaboration Plan?
