MODULE 7: Export Controls

Research Proposals – Identifying “Red Flags”

While preparing and reviewing research proposals, PIs and DAs should keep an eye out for the following “red flags” that indicate that further review of the proposal is necessary to ensure that any potential export control concerns are addressed. These “red flags” are issues universities typically encounter while collaborating with foreign entities. Any questions a researcher may have regarding this information and how it may relate to a specific technology or project should be raised with appropriate personnel in ORPA.
