What is an Export?
An “export” occurs anytime an item or information is exchanged
Sendingtransferring or taking
tangible items and information outside of
the U.S.
DisclosingReleasing information in
any format accessible including visual and oral
disclosure, technical data, technology to a non U.S.
person, in the U.S. or abroad.
Providing
technical assistance, training, repair, or
other services for, or on behalf of, foreign nationals or entities,
whether in the U.S. or abroad.
Controller’s Office 5
Export Control and Responsible Agencies
The U.S. government maintains three primary sets of export control regulations that may impact University research. • The Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR) regulate
exports of commercial items with potential military applications and dual-use items. These regulations include: Commerce Control List (CCL), Denied Persons List, Entity List.
• The Department of State International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) regulate exports of items and services specifically designed for military applications. These regulations include the U.S. Munitions List (USML)
• The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Controls (OFAC) prohibits transactions with countries subject to embargoes and trade sanctions. Sanctioned countries include: Iran, Syria, China, North Korea, Sudan and Russia. These regulations include the Specially Designated National List (SDNL).
Controller’s Office 6
Fundamental Research Exclusion
information that qualifies as “fundamental research” is not subject to export control regulations.
Fundamental Research does not include:
Transactions involving embargoed sanctioned
countries and individuals
Controlled technology and
data received from a sponsor
Research involving creation or use of
encryption
Exports of software, technology, biological
material, chemicals and hardware
Defense articles and export restricted
activities
These activities are not protected and our subject to export control.

Procurement and Export Control Purchase requisitions- first in line in identifying export controlled items.
Contact the supplier/manufacturer (recommended) Since ITAR inventory is restricted from foreign national access even where
intended for use in fundamental research, it is important for Procurement to identify any ITAR items that are the subject of a purchase transaction.
Software classified as EAR99 and is being flagged for general “boilerplate” purposes, would have to be evaluated for as these items would be subject to OFAC and EAR regulations.
If software that is controlled under an ECCN (e.g. due to cryptographic functionality), then UCSF will need to address the access control implications associated with any potential proprietary technical data that is not in the public domain.
Where an item is identified by a vendor as being governed by ITAR (or where Procurement has independent information that the item is ITAR-governed), Procurement shall immediately notify Export Control Administrator of such intended procurement, enabling Administrator to determine whether, in fact, the department or laboratory is equipped to restrict such item as necessary under the ITAR regulations. The procurement process of such ITAR items may be not be completed until such time as the Administrator has approved of the procurement.
10
Controller’s Office
Procurement and Export Control
When an “export control” notification accompanies the software license or agreement to license, refer licensor’s export control language to the Export Administrator to determine the actual level of control; if there is a specific level of control, the Administrator will determine and communicate related access and transfer restrictions.
The following language may be used in Procurement purchase orders or Master Sales Agreements to help identify ITAR item(s): • “Vendor/Supplier will provide the export control classification (USML Category No) associated
with the commodity being purchased or licensed, to the extent that this item is controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).”
The following language may be used to alert the PI or requisitioning Lab personnel to the ITAR issue: Based on information provided from the vendor of this instrument (or other named item),
this item is export controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations [identify control level]. ITAR items require that foreign national researchers and staff be restricted from accessing such equipment. As such, UC’s Export Administrator is currently evaluating all export control access implications The Procurement team is monitoring the situation closely, and will, along with Administrator communicate the final outcome of this evaluation.

Dual Usage of Research
Peili Zhu, Biosafety Officer
Environment, Health and SafetyUC San Francisco
Controller’s Office
Dual Use Research In The Life Sciences
Good science can be put to bad uses
Dual use research (DUR) is research conducted for legitimate purposes that generates knowledge, information, technologies, and/or products that can be utilized both for benevolent and harmful purposes
Controller’s Office
Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC)
Most life sciences research conceivably could be considered DUR in that it has some potential to generate information that could be misused
Controller’s Office
Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC)
There is a subset of research that has the greatest potential for generating information that could be readily misused in ways that threaten public health and national security. Such research has been termed Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) and is the focus of the US Government oversight policies
US Government Definition of DURC
Life sciences research that, based on current understanding, can be reasonably anticipated to provide knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, or national security.
Controller’s Office
Oversight of DURC
The dual use potential of certain life sciences research has been recognized as an important biosecurity issue for a number of years
Managing the risks associated with DURC is a responsibility shared by:
Researchers Journal editors and publishers Institutional officials Local oversight bodies The Federal government
Controller’s Office
US Government Policies for DURC Oversight
These policies: Aim to preserve the benefits of life sciences
research while minimizing the risk of misuse of the knowledge, information, products, or technologies provided by such research; and
Complement existing regulations and policies governing the safe and secure use of pathogens and toxins
Research Subject to the Policies
Does research involve one or more of 15 agents or toxins listed in the Policy?
Does research aim to produce one of seven listed experimental effects?
Does research meet definition of DURC?
Research Subject to the Policies
Requires additional Federal and local oversight and risk
mitigation strategies to address dual use concerns
The US Policy for Oversight of Life Sciences DURC (March 2012)
Requires Federal departments and agencies to review their research portfolios, both intramural and extramural, to:
Identify all research under the policy with DURC potential
Mitigate the risks posed by any DURC identified
The US Policy for Oversight of Life Sciences DURC (Sept. 2014)
Institutional oversight of DURC is a critical component of a comprehensive oversight system that involves:
Principal Investigators (PIs)
Institutional Review Entity (IRE)
Institutional Contact for Dual Use Research (ICDUR)
United States Government (USG)
Overview of the Process for Institutional DURC Oversight
PI identifies research that involves any of the 15 listed agents
Institutional Review Entity (IRE): Determines whether the research involves any of the 7
experimental effects; If so, conducts a risk assessment to determine whether the
research is DURC; If so, weighs the risks and benefits and develops a draft risk
mitigation plan
Controller’s Office
What Research is Subject to the Policy?
Research that directly involves any of the following 15 agents and toxins* Avian influenza virus (highly pathogenic) Bacillus anthracis Botulinum neurotoxin (in any quantity) Burkholderia mallei Burkholderia pseudomallei Ebola virus Foot-and-mouth disease virus Francisella tularensis Marburg virus
Controller’s Office
What Research is Subject to the Policy?
Reconstructed 1918 Influenza virus Rinderpest virus Toxin-producing strains of Clostridium botulinum Variola major virus Variola minor virus Yersinia pestis * Except attenuated strains of the agents that are excluded from the Select Agent list and inactive forms of botulinum neurotoxin
Controller’s Office
What Research is Subject to the Policy?
Experimental effects Enhances the harmful consequences of the agent or
toxin Disrupts immunity or the effectiveness of an
immunization against the agent or toxin without clinical and/or agricultural justification
Confers to the agent or toxin resistance to clinically and/or agriculturally useful prophylactic or therapeutic interventions against that agent or toxin or facilitates their ability to evade detection methodologies
Controller’s Office
What Research is Subject to the Policy?
Experimental effects Increases the stability, transmissibility, or the
ability to disseminate the agent or toxin Alters the host range or tropism of the agent
or toxin Enhances the susceptibility of a host
population to the agent or toxin Generates or reconstitutes an eradicated or
extinct agent or toxin listed in the policy
Controller’s Office
Determine if the Research Meets the Definition of DURC
If the research with any of the 15 agents involves any of the 7 experimental effects,
conduct a risk assessment to determine if it meets the following definition:
Controller’s Office
Life sciences research that, based on current understanding, can be reasonably anticipated to provide knowledge, information, products, or technologies that could be directly misapplied to pose a significant threat with broad potential consequences to public health and safety, agricultural crops and other plants, animals, the environment, materiel, or national security.
Determine if the Research Meets the Definition of DURC
Controller’s Office
Risk Assessment and Risk Mitigation
For projects that are determined to meet the definition of DURC, the IRE must develop a risk mitigation plan to apply any necessary and appropriate risk mitigation measures
Controller’s Office
Management of DURC-Associated Risks
DURC risk mitigation strategies may include: Changing the design or conduct of the research
or not conducting certain aspects of DURC
Applying specific biosecurity and/or biosafety measures
Developing a plan for monitoring the research for findings with additional DURC potential
Controller’s Office
Management of DURC-Associated Risks
DURC risk mitigation strategies may include:
Developing plan for responsibly communicating the results of DURC
In rare instances, when appropriate, restricting communication of experimental details or other specific information
Controller’s Office
Key Responsibilities of Investigators
Identify and refer to the IRE all research involving one or more of the agents or toxins listed in the Policy, along with an assessment of whether the research involves any of the seven listed experimental effects
Work with the IRE to assess the dual use risks and benefits of the research in question and develop risk mitigation measures
Controller’s Office
Key Responsibilities of Investigators
Conduct DURC in accordance with the risk mitigation plan
Be knowledgeable about and comply with all institutional and Federal policies and requirements for oversight of DURC
Continue to assess research to determine if, at any time, the research becomes subject to the policy
Controller’s Office
Key Responsibilities of Investigators
Ensure that laboratory personnel conducting research with any of the 15 listed agents have received education and training on DURC
Communicate DURC in a responsible manner, throughout the research process, not only at the point of publication Ensure that communication is in compliance with
the risk mitigation plan approved by the appropriate Federal funding agency
Controller’s Office
Key Responsibilities of US Government Funding Agencies
Require policy implementation at all institutions subject to the Policy.
When notified by an institution of research meeting the scope of the Policy: Notify the institution when the USG funding
agency disagrees with any part of the IRE’s review outcome
For research determined to be DURC, work with the institution to finalize a risk mitigation plan
Controller’s Office
Key Responsibilities of US Government Funding Agencies
Respond to questions from institutions regarding DURC oversight and compliance with the Policy
Respond to reports of non-compliance and work with the institution to address such non-compliance

Uniform Guidance: Administrative and Computing Device Charges
Controller’s Office
Allowable Costs
Computing Devices §200.453 & 200.453(c) Allowable direct cost when the device is essential,
allocable and used to advance the aims of the project, but may be used for other purposes as well.
How is computing device defined? Computing devices are defined as machines used to
acquire, store, analyze, process, and publish data and other information electronically, including accessories (or “peripherals”) for printing, transmitting and receiving, or storing information. §200.20
Controller’s Office
Direct Charging of Computing Devices
Computing devices < $5,000 that are essential and allocable, but not solely dedicated to the performance of a federal award, may be charged 100% to an award or may be allocated to several awards. Computing devices > $5,000 are considered equipment and must be appropriately described in the proposal budget.
No prior agency approval is required however, computing devices should be itemized in the proposal budget.
In addition, the project must not have reasonable access to other devices or equipment that can achieve the same purpose. Devices may not be purchased for reasons of convenience or preference. (Essential to aims of project)
Controller’s Office
Allowable Costs
Direct Costs - Administrative and Clerical §200.413(c) Allowable direct cost when administrative and clerical
staff services are: Integral to the project. Essential to the project’s goals and
objectives, rather than necessary for the overall operation of the institution;
The individual(s) can be specifically identified with the project or activity;
Such costs are explicitly included and awarded in the budget or have written approval by the sponsor. Approval may be requested through the proposal or in writing after the award is made.
Costs are not also recovered as indirect costs.
Controller’s Office
Examples of Administrative and Clerical
Allowable Management and organization of large complex group and annual
meetings. Project/activity website development. Management of teleconferences and other communications. Coordination of scientific meeting presentations and publication of data. Management of internal data and reagent sharing or shipping. Tracking project progress and meeting NIH reporting requirements of
award. Management of the participation of the Advisory Panel. Management of sub-recipient agreements.
Unallowable Monthly general ledger reconciliation. Monthly budget status reports. Purchasing.
Controller’s Office
Additional Guidance(To Be Vetted)
Administrative and clerical threshold needed to ensure “reasonable” amounts and levels of effort are contributed to the project or activity and that the work is intimately related to work under the agreement. Personnel costs must be integral and essential to the
performance of the award or activity. Administrative and clerical support must not be incidental
which is defined as individual annual effort less than 10% or less than $3,000 dollars budgeted per year.
Instances where individual(s) is on 3 or more awards and cumulative annual effort charged to federal sources is equal to or greater than 75%, budgets must be evaluated for appropriateness with university and federal guidelines.
Uniform Guidance: Change In Foreign F&A Rate
Change in Foreign F&A Rate

Uniform Guidance: Participant Support Cost vs. Research Subject Payments
53Controller’s Office
Participant Support Costs
Participant Support Costs must be separately identified from other Research Subject Payments as participant support costs cannot be assessed F&A under the new the Uniform Guidance Participant Support Costs are items such as stipends or
subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with conferences, or training projects A new GL account 57824 has been created to track these costs
Research Subject Payments, also known as patient incentives and respondent fees, are small payments made to individuals who are participating in a research project as a “human subject” Use existing GL Account 57823

On & Off Campus F&A Changes
56Controller’s Office
UCSF Operating Principles
The following provides principles and guidance related to F&A (indirect) costs for faculty who are moving from off- to on-campus locations: We do not expect support for researchers’ efforts to be negatively
impacted by a change in their work location. As a result, researchers will not be asked to “make up” for any change in indirect rates through a reduction of their direct cost budgets.
Efforts will be made to negotiate a change in the indirect rates to reflect the proper location of the work. Our goal is to capture as much of the indirect costs as possible.
57Controller’s Office
UCSF Operating Principles
If a negotiation to the new, higher on-campus rate is not possible as it would require an increase in total funds awarded, then we will attempt to negotiate a reduced on-campus rate that is equal to the budgeted off-campus rate and rent (note, this keeps the budget whole). If the sponsor will not agree to this rebudgeting of costs, the budget will not be revised until there is a competitive break that will allow for inclusion of the new on-campus rate (note, this leaves unspent budget on the table equal to the rent). This reduced on-campus rate will be calculated on an award by award basis by
CGA with 3 days lead-time for the request. Submit request to the Assistant Controller – CGA.
Following competitive breaks, awards are expected to include the on-campus indirect rate. Waivers for exceptions must be supported by the EVCP.
58Controller’s Office
UCSF Operating Principles
Where the award budget plans for the change in rates, the new rate will be implemented effective the date of the move. If the budget did not plan for the proper date of the move (i.e., the budget planned for the move in January and it occurred in October) and the actual F&A charges exceed the budgeted F&A plus rent for the months in question, the department RSA may ask for F&A adjustment from the Assistant Controller – CGA. The adjustment will be granted to ensure there is no negative impact from this change in work location. CGA has obtained a list from facilities for some moves, where we cannot
obtain this information an email from the RSA to CGA representing the date of the move is sufficient documentation to update the award records. The email should be submitted no later than 2 weeks prior to the move.
59Controller’s Office
Cost Share Guidance Clarification
60Controller’s Office
Cost Sharing Guidance Updated
CGA and RMS have updated the cost sharing guidance to help distinguish between voluntary committed and uncommitted cost sharing
A new Cost Sharing Summary job aid and additional FAQs has been posted to the CGA website http://controller.ucsf.edu/pam/procs.asp
The new guidance clarifies for voluntary committed cost sharing to occur, the effort had to be both quantified in the accepted budget and the award notice had to be silent on cost-sharing requirements
61Controller’s Office
Does Cost Sharing Make the Proposal More Competitive?
NOUnder the Uniform Guidance, cost sharing on
federal proposals will not be a factor during the merit review of a proposal except when allowed in the program announcement
The only time cost share increases the chance for funding is when cost sharing is required or where the request for proposal or funding announcement explicitly states that cost sharing is a review criterion Some sponsors, such as NSF, actually prohibit cost
sharing unless specifically required by a solicitation
62Controller’s Office
Cost Sharing is a Burden
Committed cost sharing requires carefully tracking and reporting by department and CGA
If the department is unable to fulfil the cost sharing commitment, the sponsor may have the right to reduce or cancel the award
The cost sharing portion is included in the organized research base for computing or allocating F&A costs, i.e., when UCSF negotiates our F&A rate, it lowers our F&A rate

All DHHS Awards will be Re-Issued
Per NOT-OD-14-093, May 16, 2014, all awards issued by the DHHS (NIH, HRSA, CDC, AHRQ) will be re-issued on subaccounts to track spending by award. Currently, all awards are in a pooled fund
In order to process these awards for individual billing, we need to create new A#s for continuations and supplements that would otherwise have kept the same A#
Our current practice is to issue new A#s for renewals, so there is no change to the renewal process
Sub-In agreements are billed individually, so we do not need to create new A#s for Sub-In continuations and supplements when the parent award migrates to a subaccount
The current practice of issuing new A#s for Sub-Ins when the parent award is competitively renewed will continue
