90 Minutes: The U.S. export control regulations are about sensitive research…and so much more.  Export controls has an expansive impact across an institution, requiring support from departments across the board from Research Compliance to Human Resources and Purchasing.  Compliance with these federal regulations is a critical component of an effective university research administration program.  

In this webinar, we'll walk through the framework behind the three core government agencies and their export control regulations:  Department of Commerce (Export Administration Regulations (EAR), Department of State International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and the Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations.

We’ll explain core concepts that research administrators must understand when determining a university’s requirements.  These concepts will include the fundamental research exclusion (or FRE), public data, patented information, export control classifications, government licensing requirements, denied or restricted parties, and sanctioned countries.  The webinar will connect these regulatory concepts with sponsored research proposals, Pre-Award contract analysis, and overall supporting faculty in their research endeavors.  We’ll discuss how the export controls regulations relate to your day-to-day work through case studies and Q&A.

We recommend testing your browser as soon as possible in case you need to contact your IT department for help.

• It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser.
• Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
• Make sure that your internet browser is Active X enabled.
• Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
• We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
