The Intersector Project is committed to creating accessible, credible, and practically valuable resources and research that are publicly available in full through our website. This includes our Toolkit for Intersector Collaboration, a guide to help diagnose, design, implement, and assess successful cross-sector collaborations; our leading Case Library of 40 cases profiling cross-sector collaborati
ons across the United States in a variety of issue areas; our Ongoing Research Projects, with current projects examining the role of philanthropy in advancing cross-sector collaboration, exploring how the press covers collaboration, and considering how the public thinks about cross-sector collaboration; and our Resource Library for Cross-sector Collaboration, an online hub of reports, articles (scholarly and popular), books, cases, tools, and multimedia that span across issue areas, partnership types, and scope (from local to international). We also work to bridge the research to practice divide. While progress has been made, there remains a need for advancement in both scholarship and practice of government, business, and non-profit collaboration in the United States. The Intersector Project has a unique commitment to connecting research to practice by maintaining active relationships with both groups and working to produce content that brings them together. We produce a Research Briefing that highlights the latest research relevant to cross-sector collaboration; an in-depth look at one article per month through our Research to Practice series; and our Researcher Insights series, in which we invite scholars to distill their research for our practitioner audience. The Intersector Project engages with a wide variety of thinkers and practitioners on this topic through events and publications — from designers of innovative public-private partnership mechanisms at NASA to local government managers pursuing improved service delivery for their constituencies.
