andtechnical human capital (S&T human capital) [15] as a model to study research collaboration [1],[16], [17]. S&T human capital is defined as the sum of individual’s knowledge, skills, resources,and her professional linkages and networks [15]. With such a model, the concept of collaborationmay go beyond the state of individual partnership and include the entire research team or eventhe research field. However, even these approaches are not often concerned with the quality ofcollaboration and relationships between individuals.Indeed the nature of collaboration cannot be explored unless we go beyond the quantitativemeasures of collaboration to examine the process in addition to outcome. Kraut, et al. [18]emphasize the importance of

-workshop survey; eleven handouts during the workshop that were either completed individually, in dyads,or in small groups; and a follow-up survey in the fall semester of 2018.Data AnalysisA thematic analysis [17] was conducted by categorizing each quote based on emergent themes within thehigher-level categories of student assets and challenges, corresponding to the two prompts on the handout.Thematic analysis is an iterative analysis process that includes reading and rereading participantresponses, developing categories to capture the key component(s) of the responses, and then combining,collapsing, and/or renaming categories based on examinations of the other responses [17]. In addition,each response was coded for workshop location (Texas or
