Conflict of Interest Misconduct in Research This document describes Elon University’s policy and procedures related to misconduct in scientific research. The purpose of this policy is to promote academic practices that prevent misconduct in research and to maintain standards to ensure ethical conduct of research and detection including appropriate handling of abuse of these standards. This policy is also the basis for specific certifications required by various federal agencies from those seeking external grant support. Export Control Regulations Exports are regulated by several federal agencies. While the conduct, products, and results of fundamental research are generally excluded from federal export or "deemed export" controls, there may be some activities that would not be excluded and would require an export license. These laws impact research, foreign travel and the transfer of technology and information to certain countries. The laws also impose severe criminal and civil fines for noncompliance. It is important that all persons involved in sponsored research/grants at Elon understand the regulations and implementation requirements. Federal Agency Policies
