Beyond financial imbalance and concerns about student exchanges, there was a perception among international interview respondents that partnerships are not always equal, and some don’t address equity. One respondent described the frustration of grant money being eaten up in administrative costs before it left their North American partner institution, stating, “We are not getting as much as we should.” Another described a situation in which his organization collects data but their North American partner analyzes it, therefore preventing his organization from building analysis and laboratory capacity. As he described, “Because we do not have technical capacity, we are limited by how much we can do with the samples that we collect . . . research in [the respondent’s country] is generally problem-driven whereas in the U.S. it is university-driven.” Two international respondents described a recurring problem of North American researchers coming to their country, conducting research, and then not including host-country collaborators in research publications.
