The development of global competencies in advanced degreed holders in STEM fields is critical to innovation, competitiveness, and economic development in the increasingly international marketplace of science and engineering. This workshop brings together experts from different types of organizations (universities, non-profit entities, funding agencies, private sector) that participate, engage in, or have significant roles in STEM graduate education/training programs to formulate a series of recommendations on how best to structure programs that provide international experiences for graduate students. The goal would be to identify the most efficient ways to support graduate students in their development of global competencies that will not increase time-to-degree or detract from their technical contributions. The workshop also explores related topics such as how to provide international research experiences to students from under-represented groups and those who are economically disadvantaged. This event addresses concerns common to international research experiences for graduate students across all STEM disciplines. Attendees/participants include representatives from the natural sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, engineering, and social sciences; experts in educational psychology, program evaluation, and international relations add to the breadth of the conversation.The main goals of the workshop are to address the following topical research questions;-- What is the appropriate role of the student's faculty research advisor (research mentor) in identifying, defining, permitting, and evaluating the advisee's international research activity?-- What are the appropriate timing and duration for introductory, follow-on, and subsequent international research experiences during a STEM PhD student's education/training? What about a STEM master's student?-- What are the appropriate entities/metrics for assessing the international research activity experiences, defining the appropriate assessment tools, collecting and archiving data, and conducting longitudinal studies on international research experiences?Presenters/attendees are selected by the organizing committee to reflect as broad a view as possible, including those calling for major changes in how international research activities are structured and funded. The outcomes of the workshop will be a publicly-accessible report with recommendations to the higher education, industry, non-profit, and governmental agency communities on how to improve global skills development in STEM advanced degree holders through effective international research activities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

STEM领域高级学位持有人的全球能力的发展对于越来越国际化的科学和工程市场的创新，竞争力和经济发展至关重要。 该研讨会汇集了来自不同类型的组织（大学，非营利实体，资助机构，私营部门）的专家，这些专家参与，参与或在STEM研究生教育/培训计划中起着重要作用，以制定一系列建议，以最佳地构建为研究生提供国际经验的计划。 目的是确定最有效的方法来支持研究生的全球能力发展，这些能力将不会增加时间度或损害其技术贡献。 该研讨会还探讨了相关主题，例如如何向来自代表性不足的团体的学生以及经济不利的人提供国际研究经验。这项活动解决了所有STEM学科研究生的国际研究经验所共有的关注。 与会者/参与者包括自然科学，生物科学，物理科学，工程和社会科学的代表；教育心理学，计划评估和国际关系方面的专家增加了对话的广度。研讨会的主要目标是解决以下局部研究问题； - - 学生的教职研究顾问（研究导师）在识别，定义，允许，定义，允许和评估适当的国际研究中的适当范围的研究中，供介绍 - 供介绍 - 介绍 - 介绍 - 介绍 - 介绍 - 介绍 - 学生的教育/培训？ STEM大师的学生呢？ - 评估国际研究活动经验，定义适当的评估工具，收集和归档数据以及对国际研究经验进行纵向研究的适当实体/指标是什么？组织委员会选择了演讲者/与会者？尽可能广泛地反映出一种广泛的观点，包括对国际研究活动的重大变化，包括对国际研究的重大变化。 研讨会的成果将是一份公开访问的报告，并向高等教育，行业，非营利和政府机构社区提出了建议，介绍了如何通过有效的国际研究活动来改善STEM高级学位持有人的全球技能发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法规使命，并认为通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的criTia criter scritia criter scritia criter scritia criter criter criter criter criter criteria crietia criter criter criteria criter criteria criteria criter critia criteria均值得一提。
