1. The document discusses using Small Groups As Complex Systems Theory (SGACS) as a theoretical lens to study coordination in interdisciplinary research projects. 2. SGACS provides concepts to analyze group structure, activities, outcomes, and how they are influenced by context. This framework can be used to diagnose issues, compare groups, and predict performance. 3. The document proposes applying SGACS through case studies of research groups at IBBT to gain insights on coordination challenges over time and benefits like improving project evaluations and management.
