*PIRE surveys include items drawn from a variety of national surveys, some of which are preserved in their original wording. Items that have been modified from national surveys are noted.

Research Questions

RQ 1. What is the quantity and quality of the publications that PIRE projects have produced (and that are projected to be produced)?

RQ 2. How does the quantity and quality of publications produced by PIRE projects—that are required, by definition, to include an international collaboration—compare to the quantity and quality of publications produced by similar NSF-funded projects that do not require an international collaboration?

RQ 3. What are the program experiences of PIRE Principal Investigators (PIs and co-PIs), postdoctoral researchers, and graduate and undergraduate student participants? What are the research and educational or career outcomes for these participants?

RQ 4. How do the research and educational or career outcomes for PIRE PIs, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate student participants compare to those of similar participant groups in similar NSF-funded projects that do not require an international collaboration?

RQ 5. How do international affairs representatives at PIRE PIs’ institutions perceive the effects of PIRE on their institutions’ policies and practices for supporting international research and educational collaborations?

RQ 6. What are the program experiences of foreign senior investigative partners in PIRE and how do they perceive the effects of PIRE on their research and educational practices and those of their institutions?

RQ 7. How have PIRE projects contributed to research that may inform global societal challenges?
