The UMass Chan Medical School (UMass Chan) encourages its faculty to engage in foreign collaborations, as they drive innovation in academic medicine and enable UMass Chan to advance treatment and care around the world. At the same time, these international engagements may trigger reporting obligations and regulatory requirements, so it is important that these collaborations remain compliant and properly monitored by our institution.

This website serves as the hub for UMass Chan compliance support for those engaged in international research and related collaborations. It is meant to be a starting point for those looking to keep pace with the still-evolving requirements and best practices when working with foreign partners and/or in foreign countries. This website will be updated to reflect the most current federal and agency guidelines, so please be sure to check back frequently.
