Thanks for your responses.  Personally, I think each project needs to be
reviewed individually, but the PI was convinced there was some "blanket"
exemption (not the fundamental research exception) for NIH, NSF, and USDA.

EAR and itar apply to the work being done and apply regardless of the
sponsor.  HOWEVER, if the research can be defined as fundamental research
per NSDD 189 signed by Reagan  (NSDD = National Security Decision
Directive) then it is exempt from export control administration.  It is
doubtful anything you did for NSF or NIH would be itar related as most of
that relates to actual munitions and weaponry, ballistics or military
vehicle parts (subs, airplanes, missiles etc).

Good luck.
