Concern:A lot of projects are not reported and

important ( other databases collect the same thing already)

Recommends:FAEIS explore APLU International and compare

what we have with what they haveMeetings 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.

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.

The existence of two international surveys and if both serve unique functions for the APLU community
