Abstract
This article presents the results of a qualitative analysis of 80 articles chapters, and practitioners' guides focused on collaboration and coalition functioning. The purpose of this review was to develop an integrative frame work that captures the core competencies and processes needed within collab orative bodies to facilitate their success. The resulting framework for bui lding collaborative capacity is presented. Four critical levels of collabor ative capacity-member capacity, relational capacity, organizational capacit y, and programmatic capacity-are described and strategies for building each type are provided The implications of this model for practitioners and sch olars are discussed.
