NJIT provides a teaching and research environment dedicated to the free exchange of ideas both within the NJIT community and externally through academic and professional presentations and publications. In some instances, export control regulations established by the U.S. government may impact the scope of research activities.
Many of the teaching and research activities at NJIT are excluded from the export control regulations through the fundamental research exclusion (see 22 CFR 120.11 (a)(8)), provided that there are no restrictions on publication or exclusions on who may participate. If the activity is controlled and not considered fundamental research, a license from the cognizant federal agency will be required to permit the activity. If the controlled activity is neither fundamental research nor covered under a license, pursuing the activity may not be allowable.
