Project Lyme's collaboration pillar reflects a fundamental belief: no single organization can solve the Lyme disease crisis alone. We actively seek partnerships with research institutions, healthcare systems, patient advocacy organizations, foundations, and other nonprofits who share our commitment to evidence-based progress.

- Patient referral networks: Bi-directional referrals that connect patients with appropriate resources and specialized care
- Foundation partnerships: Coordinated grant-making, shared funding of major research initiatives, and aligned advocacy
