CIPP - "What the Research Says About Inter-Organizational Collaboration" The U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Program’s (OSEP) vision for its Technical Assistance and Dissemination (TA&D) centers is that they will, when appropriate, work together and provide collaborative, effective, and efficient targeted and intensive technical assistance (TA), especially when working to provide TA within the same state. In fact, collaboration is a key component of OSEP’s conceptual framework, and OSEP expects TA&D centers to collaborate to leverage and maximize resources and increase the likelihood of systemic improvements by helping states prioritize their needs. This review was developed to inform OSEP’s ongoing efforts to deliver the highest quality TA&D projects and to determine whether and how interorganizational collaboration between TA centers might lead to improved outcomes. The literature is broad, so the focus here is limited to whether and how interorganizational collaboration might lead to improved outcomes, with particular attention paid to sources that focused on collaboration between organizations that were comparable to the TA&D centers (see the Appendix for key points from relevant sources).
