Policy Implications of International Graduate Students and Postdocs in the United States

OIA-0342159 HaakFunding被提供给美国国家科学院(NAS)科学、工程和公共政策委员会以及高等教育和劳动力委员会，以广泛审查在美国的国际研究生和博士后学者的现状和作用，这是一个国家科学和技术政策问题。该委员会将讨论几个话题，包括招聘最好的国内和国际人才的愿望，审查国际学生对国家劳动力、经济和科学和工程界的影响。这项工作的结果将有助于委员会制定原则，指导国家关于国际学生的政策，并更好地了解这些学生对STEM研究生教育渠道的影响。这项研究可以帮助NSF、其他联邦机构和私人STEM基金会更好地规划国家的科学和工程未来以及国家安全。

OIA-0342159HaakFunding is provided to the National Academy of Science (NAS) Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy and the Board on Higher Education and the Workforce to undertake a broad examination of the current status and role of international graduate students and post-doc scholars in the United States, a national science and technology policy concern. The committee will address several topics, including the desire to recruit the best domestic and international talent, examine the influence of international students on the Nation's labor force, economy and the science and engineering community. Results from this undertaking will help the committee formulate principles that should guide national policy regarding international students and provide a better understanding of the impact these students have on the STEM graduate education pipeline. This study could help NSF, other federal agencies and private STEM foundations better plan for the Nation's science and engineering future and national security.
