Other Considerations for Research Security

Review UMaine’s guidance regarding export control regulations, and contact the Office of Research Compliance for Restricted Party Screening and other export compliance assistance before engaging with foreign partners/entities (including sponsoring visiting scholars and researchers).
Security of Materials
- Utilize a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) or Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) when sharing or exchanging materials
- Note that all agreements must be reviewed and signed by institutional officials with the appropriate signature authority
Intellectual Property (IP)
