International Research/Export Control

Key Laws and Regulations

International projects often involve additional costs, including the cost of retaining local counsel, fees associated with obtaining necessary permissions, filing local reports, and fulfilling other requirements. RA, RFD and the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) may be able to help with anticipating and estimating such costs for budget preparation.

Below are links to summaries of some key laws and regulations that may apply to the conduct of international research or collaborations with non-U.S. researchers. Penalties for violation of these regulations are severe, and can include civil and criminal penalties for both the University and individuals.
