Please contact the University\u2019s\u00a0Export Control Officer at export@rochester.edu<\/a> for assistance in determining if a license is required.\r\n\r\nFor researchers and facilities focused on areas of competitive research and emerging technologies that may lead to sensitive results (e.g., nanotechnology, quantum, genomics, advanced manufacturing), there may be additional measures needed. These could include mandatory restricted party screening and maintenance of a permanent log of visitors in the facility.","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"interstitial","anchor_id":"","classes":"","layout":"layout_inline","lead-in":"Learn more","title":"Additional guidance and support","content":"If you have questions, please contact the\u00a0Office of Global Engagement<\/a>.
