The University of Oregon has adopted a new Export Control Policy (II.06.01), effective July 15, 2026. The policy supports and protects the UO’s global research enterprise and community of international researchers while ensuring compliance with federal export control and sanctions requirements.
Export control regulations apply to a range of university activities, including international research collaborations, travel, hosting and hiring foreign nationals, sponsored research, and the transfer or use of certain technology, software, equipment, and materials across national borders or to foreign nationals in the United States.
Engagements with foreign nationals and foreign vendors that are routed through a central office, such as International Student and Scholar Services, Sponsored Projects Services, Mail Services, BAO Travel, and Industry, Innovation and Translation, already have existing procedures to meet federal export control requirements and the UO policy. Researchers with foreign engagements not going through a central office should email exportcontrols@uoregon.edu for guidance on meeting federal regulations and the UO policy.
The Office of Export Controls is available to help. The office provides training, one-on-one consultations and guidance to help the UO community conduct international research responsibly and in compliance with federal requirements.
