16 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation Scenario: Post doc John John Ali was at GT from 2007 – 2009 as a post doc in the humanities department. After completing his post doctoral work, John returned home to Ireland and accepted a faculty position at an educational institution there. After writing up the data he collected while at GT, John sent the paper to his post doc supervisor to review and edit. His post doc supervisor made a number of changes and returned the paper to John Ali to submit for publication. Are there any export concerns? What if John were from Iran?

17 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation What is fundamental research anyway? Fundamental Research is basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community. PI/PDs goes after awards with restrictive clauses that may involve: –Unclassified Controlled Information –Publication Restrictions –Foreign Sponsors –Foreign National Restrictions

18 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation What is Fundamental Research NSDD -189 NATIONAL POLICY ON THE TRANSFER OF SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING INFORMATION I. PURPOSE This directive establishes national policy for controlling the flow of science, technology, and engineering information produced in federally-funded fundamental research at colleges, universities, and laboratories. Fundamental research is defined as follows: "'Fundamental research' means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community, as distinguished from proprietary research and from industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary or national security reasons." NSDD: National Security Decision Directive

19 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation NSDD 189 University research does not qualify as “fundamental research” if the University: –Accepts restrictions on publication of research results (temporary prepublication review allowed for proprietary purposes ~60 days) –Accepts specific access and dissemination controls in federally-funded research

20 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation Fundamental Research Exclusion in the ITAR ITAR 22 CFR §120.11 –Public domain: information which is published and which is generally accessible to the public –Through fundamental research; basic and applied research in science and engineering at accredited institutions of higher education in the U.S. where the resulting information is published and shared broadly in the scientific community ITARRegulationsITARRegulations Fundamental Research NSDD 189 'Fundamental research' means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community…

21 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation Fundamental Research Exclusion in the EAR EAR 15 CFR §734.8 –Basic and applied research in science and engineering, where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly within the scientific community –Distinguished from proprietary research and industrial development, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary reasons or specific national security reasons Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Fundamental Research NSDD 189 'Fundamental research' means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community…

22 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation Public Domain 1 /Publicly Available 2 : Does not apply to: Equipment or encrypted software If there is reason to believe information will be used for Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) ITAR 1 Regulations Regulations Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Export Administration Regulations 2 (EAR)

23 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation EAR & Export Goods and related technology listed on Commerce Control List (CCL, 15 CFR §774, Supp.1) 10 categories: license required –Category 0 - Nuclear Materials, Facilities and Equipment and Misc. –Category 1 - Materials, Chemicals, Microorganisms and Toxins –Category 2 - Materials Processing –Category 3 - Electronics –Category 4 - Computers –Category 5 - Part 1 - Telecommunications –Category 5 - Part 2 - Information Security –Category 6 - Lasers and Sensors –Category 7 - Navigation and Avionics –Category 8 - Marine –Category 9 - Propulsion Systems, Space Vehicles and Related Equipment Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 2

24 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation EAR & Export EAR 99 Additional “catch-all” category –Goods/technology “subject to the EAR” as defined in 15 CFR §734.3(a) but not on the Commerce Control List (CCL) –May or may not require license, depending on destination (country, individual) Export Administration Regulations (EAR) 2

25 All rights reserved GTRC Georgia Tech Research Corporation EAR & Export Ten General Prohibitions 10. Export & re-export of controlled items to listed countries 9.
