This article presents findings on international research collaboration from a National Science Foundation-funded study with 83 faculty in science and engineering (S&E) who returned to India after studying and working in the United States. These faculty members were brought up in the Indian socio-cultural context, but they were professionalized in the scientific culture of Western academia. When they returned to India to take a faculty position, they knew collaborators in the US with desired skills, including their advisors. Yet, returned Indian migrant faculty face significant challenges in establishing successful international research collaboration with their American peers. Interestingly, this is not the case with collaborators from Europe and other parts of the world with whom they had little connection before moving to India. Findings show some inequities that exist between scientists and engineers in the US and India that pertain to resources and attitudes towards collaboration.

国际合作：印度科学家和工程师从美国回国后的经历

本文介绍了由美国国家科学基金会资助的一项研究与83名科学与工程学院（S＆E）进行的国际研究合作的结果，这些研究人员在美国学习和工作后返回印度。这些教职员工是在印度社会文化背景下成长的，但他们在西方学术界的科学文化中专业化。当他们回到印度担任教职时，他们认识了在美国具有所需技能的合作者，包括其顾问。然而，返回印度的移民学院在与美国同行建立成功的国际研究合作方面面临巨大挑战。有趣的是，来自欧洲和世界其他地区的合作者并非如此，他们在移居印度之前与他们之间的联系很少。
