What is the Educational Information Exclusion?
The educational information exclusion covers commonly taught in courses listed in catalogues and associated teaching laboratories of academic institutions in the United States.
Does a sponsor request to “review” a publication prior to distribution nullify the fundamental research exclusion?
No, this kind of review, even when requested, is considered a courtesy rather than a restriction. If the award required "review and approval" it is considered a restriction as this language implies the potential of denying approval to publish or requiring changes to the report, presentation, or article prior to publication. A publication approval requirement would nullify the fundamental research exclusion.
What if a sponsor begins providing export-controlled information or technology to a project previously determined to be fundamental research?
This action is an indication that the direction of the research or some other factor has changed the project in some way to render the export control regulations applicable to this project and that, more than likely, the researcher’s work will now be export controlled. Contact Export Control before continuing work on the project to re-evaluate for export control protocols.
