Sponsored Projects
- When completing a sponsored research proposal, Principal Investigators should seek
to determine if the technologies covered by the research proposal are covered by Export
Controls and indicate such on the USA Transmittal Sheet. As the individual most knowledgeable
about the technologies that will be covered by a sponsored research proposal and the
administrator of the technical aspects of the research, the PI is largely responsible
for ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Export Control Laws in their
research program at the University of South Alabama.
- When a sponsored research proposal is received in the Office of Sponsored Programs
or the Health Systems Grants Administration Office, the Administrator will review
it and, if necessary complete the appropriate Export Control Review Form. Upon completion
of the form, the Administrator will determine with the Office of Research Compliance
and PI if the sponsored research proposal is or is not subject to Export Controls.
For example, if the sponsored research proposal falls into the Fundamental Research
Exception, then it is not subject to Export Controls. Alternatively, negotiation of
the grant or contract may result in the removal of terms and conditions that otherwise
would have subjected the sponsored research proposal to Export Controls. If not subject
to Export Controls, the sponsored research proposal will be handled as usual. If subject
to Export Controls, the Office of Research Compliance, in consultation with the Vice
President for Research, shall take further necessary action. This may involve an application
for the appropriate license, further review by outside counsel, or a determination
that the sponsored research proposal should be modified or abandoned. Final decisions
on the status and handling of sponsored research proposals subject to Export Controls
shall rest with the VP Research.
