Exporting Research Materials Virtual Course 2022

Do you have foreign nationals in the workplace? Ship biological materials (or genetic elements) out of the U.S.? Export Select Agents? Ship items that cost more than $2,500 out of the U.S.? Is your software controlled? Do you have controlled “development” technical research?

This course targets individuals with exporting responsibilities, including deemed exports, at universities and biotech companies.

Back by popular demand! This course is a repeat of the virtual course held in March 2021.
