Description
Concerns about improper foreign influence on federally-funded research at US universities have led to increased scrutiny and compliance enforcement. This video provides context and guidance for researchers engaged in international research collaborations in the form of a question-and-answer conversation between a principal investigator and UW subject matter experts.
Some of the questions asked and answered here (and more):
- How would I recognize a “foreign talent recruitment program”?
- What qualifies as a “foreign component”?
- When am I required to disclose or seek approval for international travel related to research?
- Under what circumstances does an international graduate student or postdoctoral scholar need to be identified as Key Personnel or Other Support?
