Overview
Request Export Control (EC) Review is an activity available to the EC Office and the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP). It is used to alert the EC Office that a project (AWD, PAF, SUBK, UFA) is in need of review by an EC Officer.
Alternatively, there is an auto-request EC Review feature in PAF, UFA, and SUBKs where the system automatically requests EC Review based on the project team's answer to Export Control related question(s) (i.e., at least one EC question is answered Yes or Unsure). The auto-request question evaluation happens at different times depending on the project type:
- PAF - If the PAF is to be awarded, and moves from Submitted to Sponsor to Processing Award or Submitted to Sponsor to Negotiation in Progress.
- UFA - When the project first reaches the central office, or when it enters either the ORSP Administrative Review or Innovation Partnerships Processing State for the first time.
- SUBK -
- If the Project Team indicates potential Export Controls in the Submit Subcontract Request activity, the SUBK will automatically be flagged for Export Control review.
- If the parent AWD for the SUBK has undergone or is currently undergoing an Export Control Review, the SUBK will be flagged for Export Control Review when the Project Team runs the Submit Subcontract Request activity.
Either method to request EC Review emails the Export Control Officers to alert them that a review is pending. Projects pending an EC Review display on the All Projects in EC Review tab in the Export Control Officer's Home workspace. Once it is assigned to an EC Officer via the Set EC Reviewer activity, it also appears in the specified EC Reviewer's Review Inbox tab.
The Export Control Officer then determines whether an Export Control (Technology Control Plan) UFA is needed to track the export control terms independently. Once the EC Review has been completed, the applicable project moves to the Export Control Officer's EC Reviewed Records tab.
