Automated Export System (AES^*). AES^* is a nationwide system operational at all ports and for all methods of transportation through which export shipment data required by multiple agencies is filed electronically to Customs. AES^* provides an alternative to filing paper Shipper's Export Declarations (SEDs), so that export information is collected electronically and edited immediately.

US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS^*). The Bureau's stated mission is to protect the security of the United States^*, which includes its national security, economic security, cyber security, and homeland security. BIS^*'s activities include regulating the export of sensitive goods and technologies in an effective and efficient manner; enforcing export control, anti-boycott^*, and public safety laws; cooperating with and assisting other countries on export control and strategic trade issues; assisting U.S. industry to comply with international arms control agreements; monitoring the viability of the U.S. defense industrial base; and promoting federal initiatives and public-private partnerships to protect the nation's critical infrastructures.

In the United States^*, the anti-boycott^* provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR^*) apply to all "U.S. persons", defined to include individuals and companies located in the United States^* and their foreign affiliates. The anti-boycott^* provisions are intended to prevent United States^* citizens and companies being used as instruments of a foreign government's foreign policy. The EAR^* forbids participation in or material support of boycotts initiated by foreign governments, for example, the Arab League boycott^* of Israel.

Financial Status Report

Basic and applied research in science and engineering conducted in the United States^*, where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly within the scientific community. Such research can be distinguished from sensitive government research, proprietary research, industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary reasons or specific national security reasons.

The Office of Corporate Research Relations^* (OCRR) drafts, reviews, and negotiates agreements for commercially supported research, both clinical and non-clinical, in the School of Medicine and related departments, and approves these agreements for institutional signature. These include clinical trial agreements, sponsored research agreements, data analysis agreements, network participation agreements, educational program support agreements (other than those for CME credit which are handled by the Office of Continuing Medical Education), subagreements under any of these, and an array of other similar contracts. Additionally, OCRR handles Confidentiality Agreements and agreements for transfers of research materials, data and equipment (Material Transfer Agreements, Collaborative Research Agreements, HIPAA Data Use Agreements, Data Transfer Agreements, Research Equipment Loans), and other related documents for these research endeavors for all of the University, including commercial, government, and academic sources and recipients. OCRR sees that agreements are consistent with Duke policies, applicable federal and state laws, and applicable IRS regulations relating to Duke’s status as a not-for-profit organization making extensive use of facilities funded with tax-exempt bonds. OCRR advises faculty on matters arising from these agreements, particularly publication^* rights, intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations, human subjects protections, and liability issues. OCRR coordinates its activities with numerous other Duke offices, including the Office of University Counsel, Office of Research Administration, Office of Research Support, Office of Risk Management, Institutional Review Board, Clinical Research Support Office, and Office of Licensing and Ventures. OCRR advises the Office of Research Administration and the Office of Research Support on matters regarding intellectual property terms for foundation and government-sponsored research. OCRC^* advises the Duke University Health System (DUHS) Institutional Review Board on terms for IRB^* Authorization Agreements in which external entities are seeking coverage from the DUHS IRB^*.
