Disclosing Foreign Support and International Activities: Difference between revisions

Effective Date: '''DRAFT'''<br />

Any UNMC employee who wishes to engage in research physically located at an international institution and the funding for such research is not processed through Sponsored Programs Administration must: 1) complete a questionnaire regarding the terms of the research and 2) obtain permission to conduct such research prior to its commencement. This policy is to assure the employee is aware of and maintains compliance with the aforementioned federal and state laws, as well as Board of Regent and university policies, in order to protect both the researcher and UNMC from statutory and regulatory penalties. The questionnaire can be found here (link) and is to be submitted to the Compliance Officer and the Vice Chancellors of Research and Business and Finance.  

Permission to engage in such research will require an executed inter-institutional agreement with the international institution detailing the research engagement and terms of the relationship, such as intellectual property rights. The Vice Chancellors of Research and Business and Finance must both sign the agreement. Violation of this policy shall subject an employee to corrective action up to and including termination of employment or academic disciplinary action, including dismissal.
