Export Control Program

International Travel and Collaborator Information

Guide on International Travel (for teaching and/or research) and for Work with Non-US Persons in Domestic and International Locations

Miami University values international collaboration and assists faculty, staff, and students to remain compliant with US export controls that govern these collaborations.
  • Non-compliance can jeopardize national security and invoke significant individual and institutional penalties.
Per US export controls, Miami University students and employees may be restricted in engagement with certain entities (i.e., companies, institutions of higher education, persons, countries, etc.).
  • In almost all instances, a management plan can be implemented where research and other activities can proceed within specified guardrails.
Export controls govern:
  • Works generated using Miami resources as well as when funded personally and/or through externally funded grant and contract dollars.
  • Regardless of whether an employee is under contract at the time of engagement.
The associated Miami policy can be located here.
  • Of note, the policy applies in instances such as when you are serving in your faculty appointment (such as serving on a graduate committee), paying personally for travel to a conference where you register as a Miami employee, taking Miami-owned property, doing personal travel before and/or after travel related to Miami employment, invited to participate because of your role as a Miami employee.

Training

The online course (CITI Program) is composed of modules about research ethics, policies, regulations, and safety. Each module is completed by taking a quiz.

CITI Training

Initial Training

There are two required modules for Export Compliance (EC). There are an additional ten modules that are specialized and may be relevant to your activities and required for you to complete by the export compliance coordinator, e.g. EC and Biosafety.

Refresher Training

Three years after initial training and every three years henceforth if still engaged in activities that might be impacted by EC regulations, you will be required to complete Refresher Modules (the number of modules depends on how recently you completed the original training and how the regulations and your activities have changed).
