Next Question:

Is the item, information or software provided under a Non-Disclosure Agreement or a Confidentiality Agreement(1) central to the research program and/or do the disclosure restrictions affect the ability to publish the research results? 

Note (1)

If you accept confidential or proprietary information subject to a Confidentiality or Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), and you have agreed that the information may not be published or made publicly available as part of your research results, this information will be considered to be export-controlled. As a result, if you wish to share that information with a foreign national (including foreign nationals here at UMass Chan), you may be required to obtain an export license.
