MEMORANDUM

Subject: Addressing Undue Foreign Influence and Enhancing Research Security

Effective April 1, 2024

Federal and state agencies continue to express concerns about transfers of federally funded research and other IP from US universities and businesses to foreign entities. Such transfers are often illegal, but even when such transfers are legal, the failure to disclose foreign activities can be illegal, especially based on how federal funders, including the Department of Defense (DoD), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other federal agencies, are interpreting and supplementing their requirements.
