NEW RESOURCE! This video Foreign Influence and Sponsored Research addresses concerns about improper foreign influence on federally-funded research at US universities that have led to increased scrutiny and compliance enforcement. This video provides context and guidance for researchers engaged in international research collaborations in the form of a question-and-answer conversation between a principal investigator and UW subject matter experts.
Some of the questions asked and answered here are:
- How would I recognize a “foreign talent recruitment program”?
- What qualifies as a “foreign component”?
- When am I required to disclose or seek approval for international travel related to research?
- Under what circumstances does an international graduate student or postdoctoral scholar need to be identified as Key Personnel or Other Support?
- What export control regulations might apply to my international collaborations?
You will also find this video, as well as other guidance on the Foreign Interests in Sponsored Programs webpage. Please forward this announcement and help share this resource.
