Multi-institutional research involves collaboration between multiple institutions, such as universities, research organizations, hospitals, or government agencies, to conduct research on a particular topic or issue. This type of research often involves pooling resources, expertise, and data from different institutions to address complex and interdisciplinary research questions. Multi-institutional research projects can lead to more robust and generalizable findings, as well as drive innovation by bringing together diverse perspectives and knowledge. Collaboration between institutions can also help to strengthen research capacity and promote knowledge sharing and dissemination.
