Will I still be able to conduct restricted research if I am unable to access my approved work location or information system?

Researchers subject to Technology Control Plans (TCPs) should contact the Office of Export and Secure Research Compliance at oesrc@vt.edu to discuss options for continuing restricted research.

I am required by my TCP to take Restricted Research Training every two (2) years, and I need to complete this (or complete re-training), what are my options?

All Restricted Research Training sessions will continue to be conducted via Zoom. For additional guidance and to register for an upcoming session, please visit the following: https://www.research.vt.edu/oesrc/training/restricted-research-training.html

I need technical assistance that is usually provided by an Office of Export and Secure Research Compliance staff member. Will that still be available to me?

Yes. Requests for technical assistance may be submitted to exporthelp@vt.edu and will be addressed as soon as possible.
