The Educational Information and Resources Branch funds Open Doors, a census of foreign students and scholars in the U.S. and of U.S. students studying abroad published annually by the Institute for International Education. Open Doors data is used by U.S. embassies, the Departments of State, Commerce, and Education, and U.S. colleges and universities to inform policy decisions about educational exchanges, trade in educational services, and study abroad activity.
