What we do

The Office of Research Compliance & Regulatory Assurances assists the UTEP community with compliance with federal and UT requirements related to export controls. Determining if an activity is subject to export control regulations can be complex and complicated.   

Your research may be subject to export controls oversight when:

  • The items, materials, technology, or technical data used in the research are identified on U.S. export control lists.
  • Working with (formally or informally), or providing technical assistance to, foreign nationals from countries currently sanctioned (e.g., for trade, travel, or terrorism) by the U.S.
  • A research agreement (e.g., contract, award, non-disclosure agreement) limits publication of results or participation in the design, conduct, or reporting of the research based on citizenship.
