Abstract

There are increasing opportunities for federal research funding at minority-serving institutions (MSIs), including requirements and incentives for "R1" institutions to collaborate with MSIs. Even with the availability of these opportunities, faculty from R1s who work with faculty from MSIs - especially those MSI faculty who are minoritized - may face a variety of barriers in forming equitable collaborative relationships. There are several best practices that faculty and research administrators can employ to address these inequities and foster inclusive collaborative partnerships.
