The University of Connecticut is implementing mandatory export control training for UConn researchers involved in any research that is export controlled.

As a result, any UConn investigator listed as project personnel for a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement where export control regulations apply must complete export control training certification prior to starting any work on that project.  Such certification is valid for one (1) year from the date the training is completed.  Certification must be completed annually if the investigator is still personnel on a project where export control regulations apply.

The training is available online and offered through CITI.  The Export Control Course contains four modules.  Two of the modules are considered mandatory and will fulfill UConn’s requirements for the export control training.  They are:

• U. S. Export Controls – General Overview
• Export Administration Regulations (EAR)

You may be required to complete other modules based on the nature of the regulations that apply to your research project.  SPS will let you know if additional modules are required.

Once the required training certification has been completed, you will have met your export control training requirements for the year.  Please make a note of the date of the certification as you will be required to complete the training again prior to the annual expiration date.
