Export Control
Texas A&M is committed to the principle of freedom of access by all interested persons to the underlying data, processes, and final results of research. TAMU also has a commitment to comply with all applicable export controls, as established by federal regulations, in its policy on Export Controls.
"Exports" are both the shipment of materials to another country and/or the disclosure of controlled information to foreign nationals (deemed exports) who are in the United States.
Exports are regulated by several federal agencies. While the conduct, products, and results of fundamental research are generally excluded from federal export or "deemed export" controls, there may be some activities that would not be excluded and would require an export license.
“Fundamental research means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community, as distinguished from proprietary research and from industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary or national security reasons." (AAU)
