Title VI: International Education Title VI: International Education • Centers for International Business Education (CIBE)• Developing Critical Language and Area Expertise• Strengthening International Studies and Foreign Language
Teaching– UISFL provides funds to plan, develop and carry out programs to
strengthen and improve undergraduate instruction in international studies and foreign languages.
– Fulbright-Hays--Group Projects Abroad Program provides funds for overseas projects in humanities, social sciences and language training, research, and curriculum development in modern foreign languages and area studies for teachers, students, and faculty engaged in a common endeavor.

projects relevant to low- and middle- income nations.• Research Training Grants Institutional training grants
designed to enhance research capacity in the developing world, with an emphasis on institutional partnerships and networking.
• STIMULUS FUNDING will support research on topics that address specific scientific and health research challenges in biomedical and behavioral research that would benefit from significant 2-year jumpstart funds.http://www.fic.nih.gov/programs/research_grants/index.htm

International Collaboration International Collaboration in Scholarly Workin Scholarly Work
International collaboration is commonplace
About 20% of the world’s scientific and technical articles in 2003 had authors from two or more countries, compared with 8% in 1988
One-quarter of articles with U.S. authors have one or more international coauthors

ConclusionsConclusions• Male S&E doctorates have more international collaborations than female S&E
doctorates (33% of males versus 23 percent of females) • Research faculty have more international collaborations than teaching faculty• Business and industry lead in international collaborations, followed by
Government, and Academia (within each sector males more likely to collaborate and females are less likely to collaborate)
• The number of international collaborations among underrepresented minorities (URM) not much different from whites and Asians (URM females less than males)
• Citizenship does not appear to be a factor in impacting international collaborations (females are less likely to collaborate internationally regardless of citizenship status)
• Engineers and Physical Scientists are more likely and social scientists are least likely to collaborate internationally

Conclusions (continued)Conclusions (continued)• The presence of children in the household does not appear to be a
factor in restricting females from collaborating internationally (however, for male S&E doctorates, children in the household, appears to increase the likelihood of international collaborations)
• S&E doctorates in mid-career are more likely to collaborate internationally than S&E doctorates in early-career or late-career stages
• Collaborating internationally does not mean traveling abroad (56% of female S&E doctorates and 48% of male S&E doctorates who conducted international collaborations did not actually travel to a foreign country to conduct those collaborations)
• It is more likely for the foreign collaborator to come to the U.S. than for the U.S. collaborator to go to the foreign country when conducting international collaborations, (for both males and females) NSF Survey of Doctorate
