Many sponsored proposals require Export Control Review prior to award. Export Control Review is performed by the Export Compliance Office on proposals with foreign sponsors (whether they are direct, prime, or lead sponsors) and proposals where National and Homeland Security questions are answered “yes.”
To expedite the approvals of your sponsored proposal, you should:
- First review the email generated by eSRA that requests PI review of the proposal for submission to the sponsor. If Export Control Review is required, it will be indicated in the body of that email. Fill out the Export Control Questionnaire which is linked to in that email.
- Alternatively, you can complete the Export Control Questionnaire in the activities section in eSRA. That activity is only available if the questionnaire is required.
To help you navigate these requirements, the eSRA Team has prepared this reference guide.
