The Plant Science for Global Food Security (PSGFS) program is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded international summer research experience for undergraduate students led by Purdue University. U.S. students travel to the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines for a 6-week summer program that includes a 3-week research experience in rice science with individual scientific laboratories coupled with a 3-week course in international rice research. Prior to implementation of Year 1 on the project, the principal investigators of PSGFS partnered with Purdue Evaluation and Learning Center (ELRC) to gauge the impact of this international research experience on intercultural awareness and career objectives of the participants.
