International Research/Export Control

The University supports and encourages international research and service. The University is committed to helping researchers address and manage the special requirements and risks involved in international projects. Such projects may be regulated by a variety of United States government agencies, such as the Departments of State, Commerce and Treasury, as well as by funding agencies. In addition, researchers working abroad may need to comply with local regulatory requirements. Managing these requirements may add unexpected costs to the project and may take specialized knowledge.

To help researchers plan for risks and requirements that may be associated with international projects, the University has established Risk Management Procedures. The Procedures provide a mechanism for the project team and University to identify and manage risks. The Procedures also will assist the University in the development of a database of information relating to international projects, so that information can be more easily collected and shared.
