The purpose of this policy is to state the essential aspects of the laws and regulations concerning exports, confirm our policy for compliance, and explain how the University will provide our researchers with the assistance they may need to ensure compliance with these complicated laws.

II. ACCOUNTABILITY

Under direction of the President, the Vice President for Research and the Research Compliance Officer shall implement and ensure compliance with this policy. 

...

  1. Rowan University (RU) is fully committed to complying with applicable export control laws. To ensure compliance with these laws, Institution's projects and programs will be managed in accordance with applicable Federal laws, rules and regulations as well as enumerated in this policy. These govern to the extent of any inconsistencies with the Institution's Information and Guidelines on United States Export Control Laws dated 6/10/2004 (See Attachment B), which also apply.

  2. Research and inquiry into intellectual areas of great promise is one of the most basic obligations Rowan University has to its faculty, to its students, and to society at large. Rapid advances in the fields of science and engineering have resulted in a closer association between the university and industry. This close association in rapidly advancing technical fields often involves export controlled information, materials and technology.

  3. As a general policy, RU will not undertake, on the campus, classified research or research whose results may not be published without prior permission. However, there may be situations in which the pursuit of knowledge may involve critically important, but sensitive areas of technology where the publication of research results would not be in the best interest of national security and public interest. In such cases, the University will have flexibility to depart from the standards of freedom of inquiry in order to serve public interest.

  4. Rowan University is committed to the highest level of compliance with all applicable export control laws and regulations that pertain to the conduct and dissemination of our research and to the export of tangible items such as equipment, components or materials. While our primary mission is education, research and dissemination of knowledge, the responsibility remains to balance the service of this mission with safeguarding national assets through adherence to the export regulations, rules and laws of our country.

  5. As a public institution of higher education, RU employs foreign nationals; collaborates with international partners on research, education and services; and hosts foreign visitors and international students in connection with international exchange programs as well as other academic, research and collaboration agreements. It is the intent of the Institution to employ foreign nationals, collaborate with foreign nationals and host international visitors, both long and short term, in the most welcoming manner possible while also assuring compliance with U.S. laws and regulations governing the export of certain items (including such items as equipment, software, chemicals, and biological materials) and technical data.

  6. Most activities on campus will not trigger export licensing requirements and will be eligible for exclusions under the fundamental research exclusion, the publicly available or public domain information exclusion, or the educational exclusion. For those activities that are not eligible for such protections, each employee is personally responsible for safeguarding export?controlled data/information, i.e. controlled technology or technical data, as required by the above federal agencies from disclosure to foreign persons without prior approval. An export license from the U.S. government or determination by the RU's Office of Research that an export license exception or exemption is available is required before a foreign person or foreign national may be given access to items or technology/technical information controlled by either the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State or the U.S. Department of Energy. No release of classified information (i.e. confidential, secret, top secret) is permitted to any person without the proper security level clearance and a documented "need to know" for that specific information.

...

  1. In 2013, the State of New Jersey designated Rowan as second comprehensive public research institution in the State of New Jersey. As a research institution and a U.S. institute of higher education, most research, teaching, or service at the Institution will appropriately fall under the fundamental research exclusion, the publicly available/public domain exclusion, the education exclusion or a combination of the three. There may be occasions in which RU may conduct research or provide service or agree to a contract with a sponsor involving classified research. In such cases, RU will have the flexibility to depart from the standards of freedom of inquiry in order to serve public interest. When such exceptions occur, each project will be reviewed by the Senate's Research Committee (SRC) and acted upon in light of its impact on overall research mission of the university.
  2. Export Control Compliance Organizational Structure
    1. The University's export compliance efforts will be coordinated through the Office of Research with the assistance of the Office of the General Counsel. However, much of the responsibility for export compliance lies with individual university personnel. The purpose of this section is to outline the university's export compliance structure.
    2. RU's Export Control Compliance Review Team (Team) is comprised of the Vice President for Research, General Counsel or designee attorney ('GC'), Chief Research Compliance Officer, Director of Sponsored Program, Biological Safety Officer, Grants Specialist, Chief Internal Auditor, Director of Purchasing, Director of Asset management, Director of Technology Commercialization and Licensing and Director of Tech Park.
    3. Vice President for Research will lead the Team and he/she is RU's empowered official for export controls. The Team is in place to ensure that the Institution has the infrastructure, resources, policies and guidelines to comply with all institutional compliance issues associated with Export Controls and Rowan University's Export Control Compliance Program.
    4. The empowered official, GC and Chief Research Compliance Officer are knowledgeable in EAR, OFAC, AECA, DOE 10 CFR Part 810 ('DOE'), NRC 10 CFR Part 110 ('NRC'), and ITAR. Further, these individuals are cognizant of when and how these regulations affect the organization.
    5. As part of Institution's Export Control Compliance Program, the Compliance Review Team has either initiated the internal controls to ensure compliance with EAR, OFAC, AECA, and ITAR or they have put together the appropriate teams to establish and implement the necessary export control compliance program. The Empowered Official has the approval authority for activities requiring export licensing, export licensing itself, and related security plans.
    6. The departments and or divisions involved in export controls related to ITAR, AECA, OFAC, DOE, NRC, and EAR have devoted personnel to the Institution's Export Control Team and other resources to ensure compliance with the Federal rules, regulations and statutes. The other resources include funds to support training in export controls and procedures for screening and conducting following compliance functions.
      1. Restricted parties screening;
      2. Locating Federal Regulations on export controls;
      3. Searching the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and (United States Munitions List (USML); and
      4. Assisting in license determinations.
    7. Asset Management Division, Purchasing Services and Environmental Health and Safety have implemented processes to track equipment, property (both Institution's titled and Government furnished), biologicals, chemicals and other materials that are controlled by ITAR, NRC and EAR.

  6. IDENTIFICATION, RECEIPT AND TRACKING OF EC ITEMS
    Office of Research reviews the scope of work from research project submissions, awards and contracts for export control related issues or materials. If this initial review reveals items of concern an Export Control Checklist is completed and/or discussions with the Principal Investigator (PI) are initiated to make further determinations as to the involvement of export controls. The Division of Research Compliance (DRC) in the Office of Research reviews and maintains in the award files copies of the proposals, research grants, contracts, confidentiality agreements and other agreements, as applicable, that may impact the export control review and determination. Additionally, Office of Research will perform export control review and license determination with the PI development of a Technology Control plan and/or interpretation of any EAR/ITAR export license requirement and associated documents, as applicable, pertaining to the project/research. Additionally, Office of Research is responsible for determining the need for licenses and submitting applications. When chemicals or biological materials are involved the Director of EHS and Biological Safety Officer will also review with the PI export control issue pertaining to the project.
  7. IDENTIFICATION OF ITAR/EAR CONTROLLED PROJECTS REVIEW PROCEDURES
    1. Office of Research has oversight and approval of all licensing under export control laws (with the exception of physical exports of biologics, chemicals and explosives out of the United States or OFAC travel related licensing). Office of Research also makes determinations relating to the export control status of new technologies and materials resulting from university research when an invention disclosure or a work disclosure has been submitted to the Office of Technology Licensing.
    2. Division of Sponsored Research will review at the time of award all grant and solicitations, proposals, confidentiality agreements, awards, etc. for the following:
      1. Restrictions on publishing research results.
      2. Restrictions on foreign nationals from performing or accessing research results.
      3. Restrictions on deliverables or results from being disclosed or delivered to any country or individuals.
      4. Physical items being shipped overseas.

      12. Other Red Flags are identified.
      13. Upon completion of review, the final determination on whether or not the effort is controlled are made and determine if further steps need to be taken. If one or more of the above bullet points apply, then neither the fundamental research exclusion nor publicly available/public domain exclusion apply and Office of Research will assist the principal investigator in determining whether a controlled technology/commodity is involved and/or export control regulations apply to the project. DRC, UFIC and EHS are responsible for export licensing under their purview but will involve each other and additional offices as appropriate. To assist in making this determination, the principal investigator shall work with Office of Research RU's to follow RU Export Control Compliance Program.
  8. OBTAINING AN EXPORT LICENSE
    If it is determined that a controlled technology or item is involved and an exclusion or license exemption does not apply; a license is required before the technology or item can be shared, disseminated, or exported out of the U.S.. This requirement applies to both research results as well as tangible items if the results are not covered by Fundamental Research, Public domain/Publicly Available Information, or other exclusions. The processing time for a license is normally two to four months after the application is submitted. Office of Research in conjunction with GC, will obtain any necessary ITAR, EAR and/or OFAC licenses.
  9. ADMINISTRATION OF THE TCP
    1. Administration of the TCP associated with any grant, proposal, or project is the joint responsibility of Office of Research and the PI/Department as it applies to the release of controlled technical data or items subject to the regulations whether in the U.S. or abroad.
    2. Principal Investigators and department heads are responsible for ensuring that employees in their activities are properly instructed in the handling of classified, export?controlled, or proprietary information and that they have signed the required attachments, prior to involvement in the project, attended mandatory Export Control Training, and are cognizant of their obligations and responsibilities under the Project?specific TCP, as applicable.
  10. TRAVEL AND PRESENTATION PROCEDURES FOR SANCTIONED/EMBARGOED ENTITIES
    Each employee is personally responsible for complying with travel, business, and export control restrictions relating to countries and individuals sanctioned by the United States in regulations, laws, and executive orders enforced by OFAC. For further information, individuals may contact Office of Research.
  11. RECORDKEEPING
    The university is subject to several regulatory recordkeeping requirements related to its export activities. The ITAR and the EAR require that records be kept reflecting the export and temporary import of defense articles, defense services, dual-use commodities and related technologies. This procedure outlines requirements for complying with the recordkeeping regulations. Types of records to be maintained will depend on the university's activities and how items are controlled for export. The retention period is five years from the date of export, re-export, or any other termination of the transaction
    1. Transactions subject to recordkeeping requirements
      The following types of transactions are subject to recordkeeping requirements:
      1. Exports of controlled commodities, software or technical data from the United States or by U.S. persons;

    2. Records required to be kept
      1. All documents related to export activities should be retained, whether they involve the administrative processes associated with obtaining licenses or other approvals, or the implementation of a license or approval, which has already been approved. It is RU policy that the following export documents and related supporting materials be retained by the University:
        1. Any paperwork detailing internal export control assessments, including any documentation regarding the applicability of any licensing exemptions (such as public domain or fundamental research);
        2. Include records of the compliance program, implementation efforts, and the steps to discover and rectify inadequacies. Such steps may mitigate the consequences of unintentional violations. Encourage prompt disclosure of potential violations to the central office for a knowledgeable and timely response including appropriate self-disclosure to the appropriate agency to mitigate penalties. Example: in an Export Control Management Plan Classification decisions issued by the appropriate government agency;
        3. License applications, and all supporting documents;

      1. Export records under the EAR (See §762.6) must be retained for five (5) years from the latest the following times:
        1. The date the export from the U.S. occurs;
        2. The date of any known re-export, transshipment, or diversion of such item;
        3. The date of any termination of the transaction, whether contractual, legal, formally in writing or by any other means, or
        4. In the case of records of or pertaining to transactions involving restrictive trade practices or boycotts, the date the regulated person receives the boycott-related request.
      2. Records relating to exports under the ITAR must be maintained for five (5) years from:
