Collaboration Tools

Collaboration among a research team is a critical part of nearly all data collection and impact evaluation activities . With the general availability of low-cost cloud collaboration tools, it is easier and more important than ever to use tools that effectively share access to data and content; protect the privacy, integrity, and history of that content; and impose as low of a learning cost on other collaborators as possible.
