Scientific research requires cross-sector, multi-disciplinary collaboration to make progress. FasterCures compiled a variety of templates, publications, and other resources from collaboration conveners to guide these efforts. Use the information in this toolkit to ease the pain points in collaborative processes, from governance structures to sharing data. Produced with generous support from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
