This paradigm provides both new opportunities and new challenges. As science and technology capabilities grow around the world, United States-based organizations are finding that international collaborations and partnerships provide unique opportunities to enhance research and training. At the same time, enhancing international collaboration requires recognition of differences in culture, legitimate national security needs, and critical needs in education and training. Culture Matters is the summary of a workshop convened by the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable (GUIRR) in July 2013 to address how culture and cultural perception influence and impact the process by which research agreements are made and negotiated across international boundaries. In this workshop, "Culture Matters: An Approach to International Research Agreements", representatives from around the world and from GUIRR's three constituent sectors - government, university, and industry - gathered to provide input into four specific meeting tracks or domains. The tracks focused on research and agreements affecting or involving people/human subjects; environmental and natural resources; science, engineering, and manufacturing; and agriculture and animal issues. This report examines each of these domains and the role that culture and cultural expectations may have in the forging and implementation of international research agreements Notes Title from PDF title page Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes This project was supported by the Department of Defense/NAVY Award # N00014-05-G-2088, DO#29; United States Department of Agriculture Award # 2020-38840-21438; Air Force Office of Scientific Research Award #FA9550-13-1-0155; and Task Order, HHSN26300008 of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Evaluation Set-Aside Program (14-6005 M OD-OER GUIRR), administered by the Office of Program Evaluation and Performance, Division of Program, Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, Office of the Director (OD), NIH; and the National Academy of Sciences English Version viewed February 13, 2015 Subject Research -- International cooperation.
