From human subjects research and conflicts of interest to environmental health and safety, research security, export controls, and research technology, the week provided opportunities to build awareness, explore common compliance considerations, and connect with the right resources.

What We Are Tracking for You

Research Compliance is monitoring federal requirements and changes that may affect your federally funded research. This includes tracking:

• Collaborations and research relationships with entities that may appear on U.S. restricted or sanctioned party lists.
• Foreign affiliations and appointments that may create research security or disclosure concerns.
• Research support and funding relationships involving foreign or restricted entities.
• Subrecipients, contractors, and other research partners that may be subject to federal restrictions.
• Co-authorships and other research collaborations that may require additional review or disclosure.
• Changes in federal requirements and restricted-party lists that could affect an existing award or a future proposal.
• Required certifications and disclosures associated with federal proposals and awards.
• Research activities that may fall within newly defined high-risk areas, including research subject to federal funding prohibitions.

Our goal is to identify potential impacts early and provide researchers with guidance before additional review or action is required. Researchers will be contacted if their research may be affected.
