 Workshop and Survey: International Collaborations in Psychology
 Based on the outcomes of the 2006 workshop convened by the USNC/IUPsyS and informed by a survey of social scientists who have led cross-national projects, International Collaborations in Behavioral and Social Sciences addresses the multiple benefits of research extending across national boundaries and describes factors common among successful collaborations. Several dimensions of collaborative processes, such as research planning, methodological issues, organizational concerns, varied training approaches, and funding needs receive critical attention in the report.

The Committee actively supports collaborations with Advanced Research Training Seminar (ARTS) workshops, which provide training opportunities for scholars from low-income countries and promote attendance at the international congresses of its sponsoring organizations. “Large Scale International Data Sets Relevant for Research in Educational and Developmental Psychology,” an Advanced Research Training Seminar held in Berlin, Germany in July 2008, was co-sponsored by the USNC/IUPsyS, the American Psychological Association, and IUPsyS. This workshop covered the use of social databases to answer specific questions and to extract data from existing databases for original research.
