As Federal export control regulations are changing quickly, Travel Services is excited to introduce everyone to The Office of Research Protections & Compliance.
The Office of Research Protections & Compliance (ORPC) serves as a central resource to ensure that UMBC conducts research in alignment with federal, state, and institutional regulations.
For international travel pertaining to research, ORPC collaborates with the Center for Global Engagement, focusing on potential export control violations. Export control regulations may apply when taking controlled items or data abroad, attending restricted conferences or meetings, or traveling to sanctioned or embargoed countries.
