How to refer to an Academic, NGO and private partnership organization? What would you call an umbrella organization that unites a university faculty, an extra-academic non-profit research center, and a NGO?

These organizations plan to pool resources to facilitate scientific research, apply for grants, and co-publish. As there are advantages to developing a single entity to those ends, we plan to form an umbrella organization. But how to call it: a hub, a research centre, a working group… it seems there are no standard terms. 

Do you guys have any experience with such entities and how they are called?
In my experience, an organization that organizes activities across multiple organizations would be called a coalition.
