CGS conducts best practice research on international issues in graduate education that directly impact U.S. institutions, faculty, and graduate students. The projects below focus on the growing efforts of institutions to develop international collaborations that bring distinct benefits to all stakeholders and enhance the preparation of U.S.-trained students for successful global research and careers.

Modeling Effective Research Ethics Education in Graduate International Collaborations: A Learning Outcomes Approach

The Council of Graduate Schools is conducting a new, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) on research ethics in international collaborations. The project brings together two areas of CGS best practice research, scholarly and research integrity and graduate international collaborations, with the goal of preparing graduate students to navigate the complex issues that arise in the context of international research. With funding through NSF’s Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE) program, CGS will work with members to meet the needs of students enrolled in science and engineering programs at U.S. institutions.

Graduate International Collaborations Project

CGS was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to study international collaborations in graduate education, including joint- and dual-degrees and student and faculty exchange programs.

CGS also conducts research on trends in international graduate applications, admissions and enrollment through the International Graduate Admissions Survey. Click here for access to CGS reports and findings circa 2007.
