Export Control Regulations: How they affect your research activities

Federal Export Control Regulations prohibit disclosure of certain information, technology and products to designated persons or entities, whether on U.S. soil (“deemed exports”) or abroad. Lists of sanctioned, prohibited, or regulated activities and entities are generated by the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and State. Even though these laws may conflict with the University’s tradition of academic freedom, they carry severe criminal and civil penalties for noncompliance by individuals and the Institution. Therefore, it is imperative that all researchers at Wayne State University familiarize themselves with these Export Control Regulations and understand their responsibility to determine when these laws apply to their research activities. Because the regulations are broad and difficult to manage on an individual basis, the Office of Research Compliance has provided information on this website to assist you in complying with the regulations.
