Note
One spelling does two jobs, as with any regular verb: the plain past (the two labs collaborated) and the participle after have (she has collaborated). Both forms carry the verb's double meaning. Usually it means working together toward a shared goal. It can also mean cooperating treasonably with an enemy occupier, so collaborated with the occupiers reads as an accusation. Context, and who the partner is, decides which meaning is in play.
