National Laboratories

Laboratory environments combine open research, sponsored work, and sensitive programs, frequently in the same building and sometimes on the same team. The controls have to be precise enough to protect what matters without stopping the science.

Across regulatory boundaries

Foreign-national researchers, sponsored work, international agreements, shared computing environments, and research-security expectations rarely map to a single regulation.

How we help

We analyze where sponsored and controlled work departs from fundamental research, develop foreign-national access and deemed-export procedures, design controls for shared computing environments, prepare Technology Control Plans for specific programs, and train researchers and program managers on what the controls require of them.

Where export controls usually show up

Foreign-national researchers, students, and visiting scientists
International collaboration agreements and joint publications
Sponsored work with different restrictions than the surrounding research
Shared computing environments and large data sets
Distinguishing fundamental research from controlled activity
