The fundamental research exemption is distinct from export controls. The FRE applies only to publishable results, not to equipment or actual technologies. Further, it only applies at the basic and applied stages of the research lifecycle. Once the research has moved into the development phase where there’s an intent to commercialize, the FRE no longer applies.
Export control concerns are driven by the nature of the research being conducted, who conducts or is involved in that research, where it is conducted, and the type(s) and kind(s) of technologies that are implicated. You could be doing work on a NOAA project for a weather satellite, for example, but because of the technologies involved, that work might require an export control license if there are non-U.S. citizens working on the project or if you have to ship the satellite to a foreign country for launch, to use but one example.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Export Control
Thanks to all who have shared information so far. Quick question: Does all Dept of Defense funded work require export controls, or is fundamental research funded by DOD still exempt?
I also saw mention about nuclear research. Same question above: does all nuclear research require export controls, or if it meets the definition of fundamental research that will be openly published still exempt?
Thanks!

Seeking guidance on export controls. I am working on our ORSP policies and procedures this summer and need to address this topic.
Anyone have some good resources/policies on what can/can't be done?
