understanding of the components, that is, each organization’s culture andpriorities, and how – or if – they align for the success of the collaborative [4]. When cultures andpriorities are taken for granted, ambiguous, or interpreted differently by individuals acrossorganizations, misunderstandings or differential experiences can lead to issues arising in MTS.This is further compounded by individual team member’s experiences within the sameorganization [5].Project BackgroundWe created a multisector MTS to develop and implement a project funded by the NationalScience Foundation’s (NSF’s) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (S-STEM) program titled “Improving Access to Career and EducationalDevelopment (I-ACED) for Talented, Low

becomes evident that this difference is driven by women who have astrong preference for written feedback. This difference is not driven by men, as men have nostatistical difference for written feedback over oral feedback, however, there is no opposition tothe written feedback by men. The reason for this strong preference and why it is only exhibitedin women is unknown. In speculation, there is a veil of anonymity associated with writtencomments that is not present in the giving of oral questions and comments. Knowing that womenare particularly in a position of alienation when giving comments in an oral Q&A STEM(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) classroom setting,12 this anonymity couldmitigate the stereotype threat associated
