KU体育官网APP (FAU) has a long history of successful collaboration with foreign research organizations and supports and encourages international research, collaboration, and scholarship, 哪些对大学的使命有贡献.

近几个月来，美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)和其他一些美国研究机构已经开始着手研究.S. federal agencies (NSF, DOD, and DOE) that support university research have demonstrated concern over foreign influence and have issued guidance to universities to ensure transparency on financial support received from all foreign entities.

The first line of defense is full and accurate reporting of all foreign relationships by U.S. 大学研究人员到他们的机构. This involves mandatory full disclosure of other financial support when requested in proposal submission, including any financial support received by the investigator from a foreign entity outside the U.S. This disclosure includes support/funding received through contracts and grants through FAU or consultant, visiting scholar, 讲师或类似的非fau职位. 为9个月的教职员工提供服务, this requirement includes applicable funds received from a non-FAU foreign entity for activities over the summer months.

一个特别值得关注的问题是美国军队的参与.S. 外国人才项目高校, 比如中国的千人计划, which the Pentagon has identified as an effort "to facilitate the legal and illicit transfer of U.S. 技术、知识产权和专有技术”.

The Division of Research is establishing a committee to focus on foreign influence/threats, review current policies and procedures to ensure compliance and develop an implementation plan for FAU. Members of this committee will represent different interest groups across the University such as Provost's office, OIT, 人力资源和教员研究人员. The DOR has created this webpage to provide pertinent information and the federal agencies' notices. DOR will also be scheduling Town Hall meetings to further distribute information and guidance related to this essential topic.

所有联邦机构都非常重视这个问题. The best advice at this point is to be sure to disclose any and all activities that involve a foreign entity. Thank you for giving your full attention to the critically important issue of preventing foreign exploitation of U.S. research discoveries. 请继续关注更多资源和信息.
