No More PDFs!
We have migrated to REDCap for our common case review requests. If you need to open a case, see the links below and/or the respective tabs to the left to access our all-new online REDCap Surveys. These will take the place of all prior PDF form requests.
You no longer need to fill out and submit the old forms. Once you complete and submit the appropriate survey, we will automatically receive a notification and will begin review of your case. You will always receive a response from us denoting approval or request for more information. If you need to submit an Export Compliance approval as your next step, please use the correspondence we will send to you after we review your survey responses.
If there are any concerns, questions, or issues with the new online surveys, please contact us and we will address these promptly. If there are any features or clarifications you think would make for a better experience, please let us know these also.
Important Note:
Please submit your surveys at least 10 business days prior to shipping, departing for international travel, conducting international research, or bringing a foreign colleague/visitor to campus.
Restricted Party Screening Request (RPS) 
Submit this survey to request a Restricted Party Screening*.
*Certain individuals and entities are listed on various domestic and internationally published or Government-maintained denied/restricted/blocked parties lists ("DPL"). We are prohibited from accepting funds, travelling to, supporting (financially or intellectually), or doing business with denied or restricted parties without an authorized license or appropriate, approved exemption. A RPS/DPL search will provide an assessment of whether any individual, entity, company, institution, organization, or group you may potentially interact with is on any of these lists.
Once we run the details you provide through RPS, we will let you know the result and provide a copy of the screening results upon request.
