In 2021, no more than 1% of S&E graduate students were supported by foreign sources, including around 1,000 master’s students (0.3%) and 2,580 doctoral students (1%). Foreign sources supported the most students in engineering (1,483) (NCSES GSS 2021 : Table 3-1 ). They also supported around 2

Global S&E connections and research collaboration, which can be facilitated by the international exchange of students, are areas of substantial interest to the NSB (NSB 2020b). In 2023, the United States was the most popular destination for internationally mobile tertiary (postsecondary) students

Articles were categorized by S&E fields corresponding to the 14 fields of science in the NCSES Taxonomy of Disciplines (TOD) (Science-Metrix 2023). This categorization first assigns the journal to one of the 176 subfields in the Science-Metrix classification, then to the TOD. This approach works

This report examines R&D performed by U.S. higher education institutions. It discusses funding by source and S&E field for R&D activities and equipment and provides information on research space. It benchmarks the United States against other nations, and it looks at how academic R&D investments

In 2019, less than 1% of S&E graduate students were supported by foreign sources, including around 1,500 master’s students (0.6%) and 3,200 doctoral students (1.3%). Foreign sources funded less than 3% of students across degree levels and fields. They supported the most students in engineering

This report examines R&D performed by U.S. higher education institutions. It discusses funding by source and S&E field for R&D activities and equipment and provides information on research space. Academic R&D has grown every year since 1975 and remains focused on basic research. Most of it

Most academic R&D is performed by a small percentage of U.S. higher education institutions. Out of approximately 4,400 postsecondary degree-granting institutions in the United States (as reported in the forthcoming Indicators 20 22 report "Higher Education in Science and Engineering"), fewer
