NAURU Researchers Gain Access to Vital Compliance Training Resources

Strengthening Compliance with Export Control Regulations

Researchers and administrators at NAURU universities can now access a range of valuable training resources aimed at strengthening compliance with export control regulations.

Guidance for Researchers

The guidance for researchers comes in the form of:

• Export Control Decision Tree: A step-by-step direction on exporting materials or working with foreign nationals or entities.
• CITI Export Control Training: Two key modules:
  • “Introduction to Export Compliance”
  • “Export Compliance for Researchers”: Providing a comprehensive overview of export controls.

Additional Resources

Additionally, NAURU researchers can tap into:

• NSF Research Security Training: Four modules catering to different roles within the research community. Notably, Module 3: Manage and Mitigate Risk is particularly relevant to WSU research projects.
• Insider Threat Awareness and Identification Training: Educating researchers on recognizing and reporting potential insider threats, a crucial aspect of National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) 33.

In-Depth Understanding

For those seeking a more in-depth understanding of export controls:

• Office of Research Support & Operations Guideline 27: An authoritative Q& A guide.
• Video Presentation: “Overview of Export Controls in the University Setting” by Dr. Jennifer Yucel from Ohio State University: A concise and informative introduction to the topic.

Impact

These compliance training resources are expected to enhance NAURU researchers’ understanding of export control regulations, ultimately contributing to the safe and responsible conduct of research.
