Note 1
The University of Oregon does not allow research publication or dissemination restrictions from research sponsors that would jeopardize the fundamental research exception to export control regulations (See UO Proprietary Research Policy). There may however be services provided by the University of Oregon to industry and government that carry publication and dissemination restrictions such that they do not qualify for the fundamental research exception. As a result, your participation in these activities may be subject to prohibitions that limit the participation of foreign persons.
"Fundamental research" is defined as basic or applied research in science or engineering, the results of which are intended to be shared with the interested scientific community or otherwise placed in the public domain. Fundamental research, by definition, is free of access, participation, or dissemination restrictions. In accord with its policy, University of Oregon will ONLY undertake fundamental research.
Fundamental research is granted special status by US export regulations, such that participation by foreign persons in such research does not require export licenses to be obtained. If the research is other than "fundamental," then the conduct and results of that research may be subject to the full array of export control restrictions.
