So I am here to do research
Today I met with the Dept chair (PhD Columbia) to start to work on the research project. The first step has been to develop the questionnaire. I am validating a questionnaire developed by a colleague at IU to measure collaboration. So the question wording problems are largely non-existent. Formatting has been more of a challenge. I have put the survey in Survey Monkey, but have yet to tackle the question of formatting. If anyone has other suggestions - speak up.
Next week we will firm up the protocal and begin contacting potential subjects (collaborative organizations). It will be great to get the ball rolling.
We also discussed the department's problems in attracting PA faculty. There are few PhD in PA in Malaysia. So if any one has knowledge of how the department can break into the international hiring world let me know and I'll pass the information on.

As a play on the credit card advert: "Don't leave home without it", here are some financial things one needs when working outside of the US.
As the spouse who is still in Raleigh, it fell to me to locate this set of information.
Many US banks, particularily smaller one's and Credit Unions have limited exposure to international banking. When the time came for some reimbursement for airfare, etc., we needed to transfer the funds from Malaysia to the US. You know, the credit card bills for the airfare do need to be paid.
So I contacted my local credit union (not a small one, but one with over 12 billion in assets). It took me over 8 phone calls before someone could come up the the information necessary.
So do the spade work before you leave, you need:
The SWIFT Number:
The Name of the Correspondent Bank, their city, and state.
The name of the Beneficiary Bank (that is your banking institution), its city, and state, plus its account number.
Finally you need your Name, address, city, state and your account number.
Stuff this stuff away with copies of your passport, credit cards, and other important documents. Who knows, you may need them.
