  3. History and Changes • Name change from International Database to FAEIS International at Fall Peer Panel Meeting • Change in survey format from 1 large survey to 3 smaller surveys • Study Abroad • International Projects • Unit Profiles

  4. International Protocol • June 1st – August 1st • Help Desk invites institutions to participate • For Study Abroad: • International Office Staff provide information in email survey and excel file • For Projects and Unit Profile: • Most often International Office Staff grant permission for FAEIS Help Desk Team to fact gather from institutional resources

  9. Comparison FAEIS and APLU International Surveys

  10. Projects Survey

  11. APLU International

  12. USDA NIFA Perspective: Comments from Hiram Larew • Concern: • A lot of projects are not reported and projects are not updated • Study Abroad Numbers are just not that important ( other databases collect the same thing already)

  13. USDA NIFA Perspective Cont. • Recommends: • FAEIS explore APLU International and compare what we have with what they have • Meetings with himself, international agricultural directors from APLU institutions, and Kerry Bolognese of APLU • Met with Hiram and Kerry this past Sunday • One of the thoughts NIFA is interested in is having a Global Map on their page that users can scroll and hit a country, then be provided a list of projects on going in that country. Right now, they are planning on pulling information for this under 3 different databases • FAEIS discuss with International Agricultural Directors what they would like to see collected.

  14. Exploration Recommendations • What is currently being collected in FAEIS International? • Questions we should be asking ourselves during exploration • What is being done? • What countries do we have information for? • Who is supporting those projects • What are the IMPACTS? • From the policy maker (USDA perspective), when access a database for international they are looking for trends and if they receive funding for a project in a certain country which institutions have projects in that country • From the institutional prospective (USDA perspective), for universities to use as a source to develop their own proposals to gain support from different funding agencies and to compare impacts. • Examine what we are doing to develop • NOP • Donor funds • What are you doing in Agriculture? • Description of activity • Faculty exchange • Student exchange • Staff exchange • Impacts

  15. For Discussion . . . • The existence of two international surveys and if both serve unique functions for the APLU community • International Projects reporting: consistency and congruency • Creation Report Builder aspect
