Will this proposal most likely lead to International Research?*

Yes

Note: International collaborations are subject to sponsor and University guidance and policies. When this question is answered Yes, the Secure + Global Research office will be added to the route as an FYI, so that they are aware of the proposal and available to aid and guidance as needed. If you have any questions about your project’s international component(s), contact vpr_export_control@colostate.edu.

Select all that apply:*

This project would probably involve international travel for field research. (For example, data collection or use of equipment.)

This project is supported (though not necessarily with funding) by an international collaboration. (For example, through a university or agency in another country.)

This project would focus on an international topic. (Most or all of the research might be conducted in the United States.)

Not sure. (Please contact the Export Control office for help.)

Do you anticipate that this project will involve restrictions such as export controls, controlled unclassified information (CUI), or classified information and/or work?*

Yes

Note: Choose ‘yes’ if the research may include any of the following: export-controlled items, software, or equipment; controlled unclassified information; materials, equipment, or information that are classified for national security reasons. If you aren’t sure if/how these restrictions might apply to your proposed project, contact the Secure and Global Research team by email: vpr_export_control@colostate.edu.

Select all that apply:*

This project would likely involve export controls.

This project will probably include controlled unclassified information.

This project is anticipated to have at least one classified aspect.

Brief Synopsis of Research (500-character limit; ~30 words)*

Information in this field can be words or phrases (e.g., forest fire, drought forecasting, ecosystem vulnerability, hypoxia resilience, teaching sex and gender in biology, hibernation energetics, methane monitoring, cattle fever tick infestation risks, etc.) or can be in paragraph form (e.g., “This project will…”).

Research Type:*

Applied Research

Basic Research

Developmental Research

Not Research

DEFINITIONS – Applied Research: designed to solve practical problems of the modern world, rather than to acquire knowledge for knowledge’s sake. One might say that the goal of the applied scientist is to improve the human condition. Basic Research: (aka fundamental or pure) is driven by a scientist’s curiosity or interest in a scientific question. The main motivation is to expand man’s knowledge, not to create or invent something. There is no obvious commercial value to the discoveries that result from basic research. Developmental Research: (aka experimental development) is creative and systematic work, drawing on knowledge gained from research and practical experience, which is directed at producing new products or processes or improving existing products or processes. Like research, experimental development will result in gaining additional knowledge.
