Description: Project that aims to provide structure and clarity to the research-by-consortium model, presenting both the consortia framework and partnership components in an effort to guide and inform emerging and existing collaborative efforts. Their goal is to ensure that research-by-consortium efforts are at their highest performance and achieving the best possible outcomes. A consortium will thrive if its leadership and governance structure is able to define a mission that's shared by all stakeholders and articulate the desired outcomes of the effort early in the process. For collaborative efforts to move forward, consortia must recognize and leverage the unique strengths and resources that each partner can contribute and bring to fruition. They have found that managing expectations and establishing transparency measures are essential to building trust among all participating stakeholders. Transparency curbs potential conflicts of interest and creates a culture that allows for open sharing of data and a responsible approach to intellectual property negotiations. They found that for collaborations in the medical research and development ecosystem to be effective and sustainable, they must be driven by the ultimate goal of delivering a medical solution that could improve or save lives. Through the project, they are creating several tools for the biomedical research community: * Framework report: This series of reports analyzes a diversity of existing consortia to understand the operational management and framework used to initiate and manage these complex collaborations. * Consortium database * Landscape analysis trends and intended output * Educational webinars and spotlights
