Mentoring in Developing, Engaging With, and Sustaining Research Teams That Aligns with Health and Risk Communication Principles: Apples and Oranges or Apples and Apples?

Abstract
We are an interdisciplinary group of colleagues dedicated to partner engagement and team science. This influences our academic work, informs our research mentorship and capacity-building initiatives with junior scholars, conditions how we communicate with individuals outside of our disciplines, and makes lifelong learning a priority for ourselves and our trainees. Using the analogy of a seven-layer cake, this paper describes our capacity-building approach to develop, engage, and sustain research teams in a manner that aligns with health and risk communication principles. While preparing for a pandemic and engaging in team-based academic research may seem like apples and oranges, they both require the same key component throughout the process that we must encourage in our mentorship practices–effective communication. We provide concrete examples from our experiences on research teams that span decades and institutions.
