AB  - Effective collaboration is essential for team projects whether related to 
      research, evidence-based practice, or quality improvement efforts and is 
      especially relevant to the doctor of nursing practice (DNP)-prepared nurse 
      (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2006). High-quality projects 
      are accomplished through planning and organization and cannot be left to chance 
      (Yonge, Skillen, & Henderson, 1996). A collaboration contract negates the "left 
      to chance" philosophy by promoting clarity of roles, responsibilities, and team 
      processes. Seven "Cs" of collaboration (contribution, communication, commitment, 
      compatibility, consensus, credit, and cohesion) provide a guiding format for 
      essential components of a contract (Govoni & Pierce, 1997; Lancaster, 1985). This 
      article describes these components and the process for establishing a 
      collaboration contract. An example of a contract is provided that can serve as a 
      template for team projects. Approaches to adapting the contract for use with 
      teams of varied composition are shared. A collaborative contract, along with 
      professional conduct standards, supports achievement of the team goal.
