The evaluation research reported here had two central aims: To provide formative evaluation of two cases of international collaborations between U.S. and German doctoral programs and to use this experience to develop a framework for evaluation of international collaboration in doctoral-level science education that allows us to assess the benefits of such international collaborations to students, faculty and graduate programs. In the course of one year of a multi-method study we evaluated the international activities of two pairs of interdisciplinary science PhD programs in the U.S. and Germany that had established program-level international components.
