AB  - Understanding collaboration strategies among university researchers, non-profits, and industry organizations is crucial for developing robust research networks that will contribute towards the highest level of quality within research projects. This paper presents the approach of how a university team (professor and graduate students) collaborated with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) to conduct a longitudinal analysis of a summer engineering program funded through an Early CAREER faculty award from the National Science Foundation’s Engineering Education Broadening Participation (BPE) program. According to the literature, there is a great need for longitudinal analysis of STEM outreach programs, especially informal ones, and support students from historically excluded backgrounds. This paper contributes to the academia-non- profit partnership literature within the context of longitudinal studies by mapping out the strategies practiced, including ethical and equitable collaborating and networking with professionals from academia, non-profit, industry, and other higher-education-based institutions during the early phases of our study. We applied concepts from design thinking, systems thinking, community engagement, and collaboration ethics while focusing on the collaborative element in those concepts. We describe the team engagement, dynamics, characteristics, and methods for playing to each team member's strengths. Additionally, we share the challenges and constraints faced by the team during years 1 and 2 of the project and the changes implemented as a result. The overall results were assessed regarding team performance and progress toward the project. Results also include insight into team organization and structure and the team's interdisciplinary and multifaceted skillset. Best practices, successes, and areas of opportunity for leveraging multistakeholder collaborations were essential to our project. Our aim is to document our process as a road map for other university researchers who wish to collaborate with industry and non-profit organizations.
