Table 8I. Program Outcomes: International Trainees

For Renewal or Revision applications and Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPRs) only.

Rationale

This table provides information about the outcomes of research training support (e.g., faculty mentor, year(s) in program, years of support per international trainee, area of research and subsequent career related outcomes). The data also permits an evaluation of the effectiveness of the supported training program in achieving the training objectives of the prior award period(s) for up to 15 years.

Instructions

Part I. Those Supported by the Training Grant

In Part I, list sequentially, by year of entry into the program, all international trainees who have been supported by this grant for at least one person month at any time during the last 15 grant years, including those who did not complete the training program for any reason. If the grant has been active for less than 15 years, list all international trainees to date.

For each trainee, provide:

1. International Trainee/Country. Provide the student’s name in the format Last Name, First Name and Middle Initial. Indicate their country of citizenship or residence (whichever is applicable).

2. Faculty Member. In the format of Last Name, First Name and Middle Initial, provide up to two primary research training faculty that acted as mentors (for trainees, these will be training grant faculty). If not yet selected, indicate “TBD” (to be determined).

3. Start Date. Provide the calendar month and year of entry into the current program in the format MM/YYYY (for trainees, this date may precede the appointment to the training grant).

4. Summary of Support During Training. Provide the type of support during each twelve-month period of training, using TY1 for Training Year 1, TY2 for Training Year 2, etc.

5. Degree(s) Received and Year(s). If applicable, list the advanced degree(s) received and year(s) awarded, and any terminal degree(s) (such as Ph.D. or M.D.) received or indicate “non-degree” research training if relevant. International trainees currently in the program should be designated “in training;” for those who left the research training program without completing, report “none.”

6. Topic of Research Project. Enter the topic of the research project.

7. Initial Position and Current Position. For international trainees supported by the grant, including those who completed or left the research training program, provide their initial positions, departments, and organizations, as applicable. If individuals hold joint appointments/positions, list only the primary position. If information is not available, report “unknown.” For each position, indicate the workforce sector (i.e., academia, government, for-profit, nonprofit, other) and principal activity (i.e., primarily research, primarily teaching, primarily clinical, research-related, further training, unrelated to research). Research-related positions generally require a doctoral degree and may include activities such as administering research or higher education programs, science policy, or technology transfer.

8. Current Position. For international trainees supported by the grant and have moved on from their initial position, including those who completed or left the research training program, provide their current positions, departments, and organizations, as applicable (leave blank for students who are still in the training program or are still in their initial position). If individuals hold joint appointments/positions, list only the primary position. If information is not available, report “unknown.” For each position, indicate the workforce sector (i.e., academia, government, for-profit, nonprofit, other) and principal activity (i.e., primarily research, primarily teaching, primarily clinical, research-related, further training, unrelated to research). Research-related positions generally require a doctoral degree, and may include activities such as administering research or higher education programs, science policy, or technology transfer.

9. Subsequent Grant(s)/Role/Year Awarded. If applicable, list subsequent fellowship, career development, or research grant support obtained from any source, whether as PD/PI or in another senior role (i.e., co-investigator, faculty collaborator, or staff scientist) after the individual completed training. For NIH and other HHS support, list the awarding component, activity, role, and year (e.g., GM R35/Staff Scientist/2021). Up to five grants may be listed.

 

Summarize the data from Part I in the Research Training Program Plan, either in the Program Plan Section or the Progress Report Section, as appropriate.

For Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPRs) and renewal applications, provide updated trainee information in Part I reflecting new trainees and other changes over the reporting period. Do not include data older than 15 years. For the RPPR, summarize these data, along with updated program statistics in Part IV, in the RPPR Accomplishments Section, in responding to the question, “What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?”

 

Part II. Recent Graduates (Not Applicable)

 

Part III. Program Statistics

In Part III, report: 1) the percentage of international trainees receiving support from this training grant for a research doctoral degree at some point in the last ten years who received research doctoral degrees, and 2) the average time to research doctoral degree for all international trainees supported by this training grant in the last ten years, calculated to one decimal place (e.g., 5.5 years). Programs that have not received support for at least 10 years should not include the first section of the table the (i.e., the percentage of trainees completing their degrees within 10 years). New programs that have not yet had any trainees complete the PhD should not include this table at all. 

In calculating these program statistics, students leaving graduate school to transfer to medical school or other doctoral-level professional programs should be counted as part of the entering pool, but not as having earned a Ph.D.-equivalent degree. Individuals transferring to or from Ph.D. programs in similar fields at other organizations and not supported by this award should be excluded from both the entering and graduating cohorts in calculating completion and time to degree.

Time to degree should be calculated as the period from enrollment in a doctoral degree program at the organization to the conferral of a doctoral degree or, in the case of dual-degree programs, both degrees. If a student earns a master’s degree from the reporting organization prior to and in conjunction with fulfilling the requirements for the research doctoral degree, or an additional doctoral degree as part of a dual-degree program (e.g., M.D./Ph.D., D.D.S./Ph.D.), time to degree should be calculated from entry into the first degree program.
