The often-misunderstood Fundamental Research Exemption (FRE) has a significant impact on university-based research and can result in inadvertent compliance gaps — especially when that research stems from a sponsored program. And in today’s political climate, as trade disputes and charges of IP misappropriation bring daily headlines and intense scrutiny, having your compliance efforts nailed down is more critical than ever before.

Among other rules, in order for research to qualify as Fundamental Research, the research must be conducted free of any publication restrictions and without any access or dissemination restrictions. The Fundamental Research Exclusion will be lost if a researcher or research office agrees to allow sponsors to review and approve publications or to control access to the project or project results.

To guide you in effectively addressing high-stakes export control compliance challenges, we’ve teamed up with Kay Ellis, MHR, Director of the Export Control Program at the University of Arizona, to bring you this critical program.

This one-hour session will define the fundamental research exemption and explain the framework around it within Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Join us as we provide tips for educating faculty and handling contract clauses to ensure that the fundamental research exemption is preserved.
