We welcome the world to UO, but do so in a way that meets U.S. government regulatory requirements. The U.S. Government’s list of external governments and entities of concern evolves with geopolitics. Research on big global challenges requires global partnership. We’re here to help you stay connected to the world, and stay on the right side of federal rules.
- Countries & entities of concern
- International delegation visits, especially from government officials
- Hosting visiting faculty and students
- Reporting overseas partnerships for grant applications
- NSPM-33 and its implementation

Export Control (also: traveling with laptops and smartphones)
U.S. government rules safeguard the shipment, transmission, or transfer of regulated items, information, and software outside the US. These rules have an impact when we travel to certain countries with our UO devices (e.g., laptops, smartphones)
Reporting (especially in relation to federal grant applications)
U.S. government funding agencies require detailed reporting of applicant connections to scholars and institutions in certain countries. UO encourages appropriate contacts and the full disclosure necessary to remain in compliance with federal regulations.
Contracting
When we create contracts with entities in certain countries, there may be special requirements for review and details to include in final documents.
Trainings
