Collaborative Research   Issues in Collaborative Research (cont.) 9 of 10
   

Researchers involved in international research collaborations face unique challenges, including, but not limited to:

  • Different prevailing research policies and guidelines. University of New Hampshire (UNH) researchers must ensure that research performed at other sites under collaborative agreements meets UNH requirements
  • Difficulties in sharing some types of data and research materials, such as infectious agents and other biologics that are difficult to ship internationally. There also may be federal restrictions on sharing research findings that are considered to involve issues of national security.
