Illustrating and analyzing the processes of multi-institutional, collaboration: Lessons learned from the STRIDE PROJECT
Abstract
The STRIDE study collaboration focused on mental health, opioid addiction and infectious disease/ HIV among Africans Americans involved in CJS (Criminal Justice System). We discuss some of the challenges and benefits of collaborative research projects conducted at Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCUs) and to highlight the educational opportunities created by such collaborations for residents and other trainees leading to the development of independent investigators through multi-institutional, structured collaborative research. We identify some unique challenges such as substance use, race, stigma, and incarceration among participants and the cultural and power differential between different participating institutions to address these issues and how it impacted the course of the multi-institutional collaborative effort.
