UMass Chan continues to encourage and support foreign collaborations.  However, consistent with federal agency guidance you should provide information to your research sponsors about all foreign collaborations and ensure that all foreign research visitors/scholars are duly vetted by Immigration Services to confirm that there are no restrictions upon hosting such visitors.  That said, there remains considerable concern with foreign talent programs. If you are involved in or are invited to participate in such a program, you should obtain guidance from OSP as well as from your research sponsors.
