Export control may not always be at the top of mind, but in today’s rapidly evolving global research landscape, it’s more critical than ever.
Maintaining compliance is not just a legal obligation—it’s a reflection of our shared commitment to responsible stewardship. Violations can carry serious consequences, including fines, criminal penalties, and the potential loss of federal funding. Every employee plays a vital role in protecting the Lab’s integrity and reputation.
To help you carry out this responsibility, the Lab has developed the Introduction to Export Controls training course. This course provides a general introduction to U.S. export control laws and their relevance to your work. By completing it, you will be able to:
- Understand the importance of export controls on activities at the Lab
- Recognize how export controls impact your role
- Successfully navigate export controls with available tools and resources
Whether you’re new to export control or need a refresher, this training equips you with the knowledge to navigate today’s challenges confidently.
