*The TD Training Collaboratory is a group of transdisciplinary leaders and practitioners from 11 countries - among them Christian Pohl and Gabriela Wuelser from the Sustainability Research Initiative strategic committee and office, respectively. The group's project was funded by the US National Science Foundation. Drawing upon its collective experience, the group developed the guide, and pilot tested its use at various conferences and institutes.
