Research with Teams

Microsoft Teams provides a powerful, integrated platform for university research groups to collaborate efficiently—whether working on grant-funded projects, cross-departmental initiatives, or student-led research teams. With Teams and Channels, researchers can structure communication by topic, securely invite collaborators, and manage access to sensitive data using private channels. File collaboration is seamless: team members can co-author documents, manage version histories, and securely share research files using Teams’ integration with SharePoint and OneDrive. For real-time coordination, Teams Calling enables faculty and staff to make and receive calls using their Temple phone number from any device—ideal for remote work or field research. Whether organizing project milestones, sharing datasets, or hosting virtual lab meetings, Microsoft Teams is a robust tool for advancing academic research.
