Purpose: To describe the experience of implementing a collaborative model for research mentorship across a variety of minority serving institutions, specifically, historically Black Colleges (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and American Indian Tribal Colleges (AITCs). Method: The Peer-to-Peer Mentor Research Team Model (PPMRTM) simultaneously provides peer-to-peer mentoring and traditional mentoring through a panel of mentors. Components of the model will be detailed and examples of success and challenges are presented. Results: Several key practices such as non-traditional mentoring and instruction, combining resources, and committing to using best practices emerged as important factors contributing to successful research collaboration. Conclusions: The findings can have implications for other inter-institutional collaborations.
