While the purpose of research, scholarship, and education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is to ultimately share information and new knowledge, there are times when access to certain items, information, or laboratory spaces should be restricted for confidentiality, export compliance, national security, safety, and/or other security reasons. To that end, this policy establishes a framework for identifying export-controlled items, information, and research spaces.
UNC-Chapel Hill is committed to protecting the integrity of its programs and activities and ensuring compliance with all applicable legal requirements and federal, sponsor, and University requirements, policies, standards, and procedures related to science and security, including research security (“Applicable Requirements”). This policy establishes the standards and structures necessary to safeguard University activities and maintain compliance.
