Export Control and Research Cybersecurity Program Components

The Export Control and Research Cybersecurity office ensures institutional compliance with U.S. laws and regulations governing the secure handling of sensitive research information. This includes oversight of export control regulations (such as ITAR and EAR) and safeguarding requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other federally protected data. The office monitors regulatory updates and works to implement appropriate university policies, procedures, and training to support researchers in meeting federal cybersecurity and export compliance obligations.

Activities that can trigger Export Control compliance concerns

In an academic and research setting such as Emory's, these activities can include activities related to international collaborations, international shipping, international travel, hosting international visitors, employment of non-immigrant visa holders, conducting research which has restrictions on publications or Foreign Persons' participation, and conducting research which makes use of export-controlled inputs.

CUI and Research at Emory

Compliance with CUI requirements is overseen by the Export Control and Research Cybersecurity (ECRC) Office, and technical implementation is conducted by the Office of Information Technology (OIT). If your award, either directly or indirectly funded by the DoD, contains enhanced cybersecurity language, the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) coordinates with ECRC and OIT to ensure the appropriate cybersecurity measures are implemented.
