Due to the complexities in applicable laws and regulations, all researchers involved in the project should be cognizant of their individual responsibilities when conducting research abroad, and educate themselves on University’s policies and requirements, as well as the policies and requirements of their foreign collaborator(s). You should always consult with your departmental/local administrator and sponsored office as early in the planning process as possible and be aware that based on the scope of research, there may be a need for formal Office of the Vice Provost for Research approval.

Consult the International Project Planning Guide, register your trip abroad with Global Support Services, and reference the International Shipping Guidance, International Travel Guidance, and Safety and Security travel advisories.
