Accepting Publication Restrictions in Research

Research that does not require publication approval or is not otherwise restricted is not generally subject to export control regulations. This is often referred to as the fundamental research. Most ISU research will be considered fundamental research. If ISU researchers accept publication or other restrictions as part of a funding agreement or in collaboration with a third party for use of proprietary information, the research information and the results are subject to the export control regulations, if otherwise applicable. Researchers should contact the Office of Sponsored Programs to develop a research plan that meets export control requirements, which can include security.
