Universities such as Texas A&M are actively responding to concerns from federal agencies and sponsors regarding foreign influence in academic research. This influence may range from conflicting commitments of researchers to foreign entities to the misappropriation of research results and intellectual property. While we value and encourage international collaborations that promote openness in research and scholarship, Texas A&M must comply with US laws and agency regulations that govern how we manage and report international engagements. Understanding the regulatory environment, the risks, and importance of transparency is an individual responsibility as well as an organizational commitment.
Texas A&M remains committed to the highest level of research integrity and engagement of global partners. The information below will provide you with guidance and support in obtaining transparency related to foreign components of your research.
