In an Alliance, the force of these expectations iscompounded as the leadership team must work across multiple systems simultaneously,including institutional context(s); with the funding agency; and the current sociocultural normsof the discipline that are fueled by the K–12, higher ed and workforce environments. In effectiveAlliances, the leadership is distributed across a range of institutions and/or institution types,allowing people to take on different roles and responsibilities. For example, an institution thathas a nimble and well-supported grants office may be in the best position to hold the grant andensure that sub-awards and consulting agreements are efficiently managed.

To help students prepare to participate in discussions around these topics, theywere asked to individually reflect on a how a non-inclusive design or healthcare disparity haspersonally affected them or someone they love for about ten minutes.
