Countries of Concern Engagements

International Engagements are activities or relationships that involve significant or meaningful interaction, affiliation, collaboration, or exchange with a foreign entity. Those involving a country of concern (see below) should be reviewed by the Research Engagement & Compliance (REC) team before initiating the engagement. It should be noted that there are compliance considerations for International Engagements that do not involve a country of concern. Please visit the Export Controls website to determine if there are other concerns related to an international engagement.

Those considering an international engagement with a country of concern should complete the Countries of Concern Engagement Tool. This tool guides the user through a series of questions and the user's responses will enable the REC Team to review the engagement and provide guidance regarding the potential risks and compliance concerns. The tool functions best when users provide substantive information about the  engagement and upload all related documents.
