Items, information, and technologies used for University research, including some readily available in the U.S., may be subject to U.S. export control regulations intended to prevent the proliferation of chemical or biological weapons, support national security policies, or protect U.S.- developed intellectual property.  The entire research team will need to consider these regulations when transferring certain items, technology, or information to foreign nationals within the U.S. as well as outside the U.S. 

Additionally, U.S. government sanctions restrict travel to, and financial transactions with, certain countries, individuals, and organizations, including certain foreign universities.  It is important to understand and comply with country-specific sanctions when travelling abroad and to comply with financial sanctions on individuals and organizations when entering into research collaborations with foreign individuals and entities.
