Overview
It is in your best interest to disclose all foreign relationships and activities.
Federal sponsors may prohibit investigators from holding appointments or positions with, or receiving research support from, certain restricted or proscribed entities. Contact Export Control and Research Security before accepting an appointment or research support from an entity that may be subject to federal restrictions.
Best practices when accepting a foreign appointment or receiving support or compensation from a foreign entity:
Obtain prior approval for any research engagements or appointments with foreign entities.
Disclose travel, housing, gifts, or other types of compensation received from any foreign entities.
Report any support or compensation to federal sponsors as Other Support/Current & Pending Support to the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR), if applicable.
Researchers with Department of Energy (DOE) funding should review DOE Order 486.1A, Foreign Government Sponsored or Affiliated Activities (especially Attachments 1 and 2) for additional restrictions regarding participation in Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs.
Review Policy APM-740 (Sabbatical Leave) as it applies to your international collaboration.
If you work with export-controlled technologies, also check with the UCSF Export Control Office ([email protected]) regarding your collaboration.
