The modern United States research ecosystem relies on international interactions and collaborations and foreign students and professionals. The incorporation of such individuals into the U.S.’s scientific enterprise is essential to research excellence and productivity, innovation-based economic growth, and national security. However, attracting global scientific talent to support national research capabilities is of paramount importance to many countries. This study will review foreign and domestic talent or incentive programs and recommend ways to improve the effectiveness of U.S. mechanisms for attracting and retaining the best and brightest scholars, relative to programs and incentives used by the U.S.’s strategic competitors.
