To examine the issues involved in carrying out such projects, in 2006 the National Research Council's (NRC) Committee on International Collaborations in Social and Behavioral Sciences convened a workshop that resulted in a 2008 report entitled International Collaborations in Behavioral and Social Sciences Research: Report of a Workshop.

In addition, all international collaboration may involve communication difficulties among would-be collaborators, not only because of linguistic differences but also because of differing cultural styles and unequal power positions that might exist. Questions surrounding protection of human subjects and other ethical issues can be particularly complex and intense, given different countries' formal requirements for clearances and consent, as well as their differing informal understandings of various questions.

The National Research Council workshops are not the only high-level efforts that look into the issues of international collaborative research, noted Pam Flattau, adjunct research staff member at IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute. In 2005, she said, the National Science Board, the National Science Foundation's governing board, organized a task force on international science.

The 2013 program's schedule aimed to allow participants to identify innovations in infrastructure and planning appropriate to each of the four phases. Specifically, each session of the workshop focused on a specific phase, with Sessions 3 and 4 both focusing on the same phase: • Session 1: Elements of the Organizational Infrastructure in the Behavioral and Social Sciences that Facilitate International Research Collaborations • Session 2: Building Infrastructure for Initiation and Planning of International Research Collaborations • Session 3: Issues in the Conduct of Internationally Collaborative Research • Session 4: Issues in the Conduct of Internationally Collaborative Research (continued)

protection of human subjects, particularly as it relates to the functioning and requirements of institutional review boards dealing with international projects. After the two parallel discussions, the entire group reassembled for Session 5, the final plenary session, which was planned to focus on two themes: the major issues likely to arise in the dissemination of internationally collaborative research, and the group's overall impressions and final thoughts about effective strategies for building infrastructure and improving policies and procedures.
