“…The next generation AMR network described here includes professional skills training designed to build capacity in communications, teamwork, and leadership in the context of multidisciplinary, collaborative research. Based on the CyberAmbassadors program [94] funded by the National Science Foundation, this training is modular and highly customizable and includes a "train-the-trainers" component that prepares local facilitators to provide training on a regular basis, allowing for rapid scaling and deployment of professional development on a global scale.…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity, especially in low-resource settings, and requires an interdisciplinary response across academia, government, countries, and societies. If unchecked, AMR will hamper progress towards reaching the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including ending poverty and hunger, promoting healthy lives and well-being, and achieving sustained economic growth. There are many global initiatives to curb the effects of AMR, but significant gaps remain. New ways of thinking and operating in the context of the SDGs are essential to making progress. In this entry, we define the next generation of the AMR research network, its composition, and strategic activities that can help mitigate the threats due to AMR at the local, regional, and global levels. This is supported by a review of recent literature and bibliometric and network analyses to examine the current and future state of AMR research networks for global health and sustainable development.

“…This positive feedback about the Teaming Up training was well-aligned with results from the more detailed research conducted as part of the CyberAmbassadors project, which included multiple phases of developing, piloting, revising, and retesting the curriculum [5], [10], [11], [13]. The corporate context of this case study did highlight one interesting set of responses that was not studied in the original research: the impact of having effective meeting norms on "bridging the gap" between different groups.…”

“…Strong professional skills help engineers translate their technical knowledge into transformative problem solutions, particularly when tackling interdisciplinary problems that require collaborative approaches [3], [4]. The National Science Foundation (NSF) encourages the development of professional skills through training grants like the CyberAmbassadors project (NSF Award #1730137), which developed a flexible, modular curriculum to provide professional skills training in communications, teamwork and leadership [5]. This case study focuses on efforts to adapt the "Teaming Up" module from the CyberAmbassadors project for use by engineers working in industry, and describes how lessons learned from this experience were used to refine the original curriculum.…”

“…This paper describes the development of a "train the trainers" program to prepare volunteers to facilitate interactive workshops that help participants build professional skills. This effort is part of a larger workforce development project (CyberAmbassadors) funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) [22]- [24]. The overarching goal of the CyberAmbassadors project is to develop professional skills training that helps participants collaborate more effectively in interdisciplinary settings, with a primary focus on STEM professionals.…”

where she completed degrees in political theory and computer science. A recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, she earned Ph.D. and M.S.E. degrees in computer science and engineering from the University of Michigan. She has published dozens of peer-reviewed works related to her interests in engineering education and graduate student success, and has been recognized as a Master Facilitator by the National Research Mentor Network. She is also co-PI for two NSF-funded projects that enhance graduate student success: one is a professional development program offering training in communication, teamwork, leadership, and mentoring skills for interdisciplinary work; the other is a joint effort with Spelman College (a historically black institution serving women) to expand opportunities and increase diversity in STEM by developing a five-year BS+MS program. Dr. Luchini-Colbry also volunteers as the Director of the Engineering Futures Program of Tau Beta Pi, the Engineering Honor Society, which provides interactive professional development seminars for thousands of engineering students and professionals each year.
