Department of Justice (DOJ) Regulations Regarding Access to Bulk U.S. Sensitive Data<\/a>. These regulations establish important restrictions on how certain categories of sensitive data\u2014such as health, genomic, biometric, financial, and geolocation information\u2014may be accessed or shared with entities or individuals associated with designated \u201ccountries of concern\u201d (specifically China\u2014including Hong Kong and Macau\u2014Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela).<\/p>\nIf your research involves sensitive data related to U.S. persons, please review this guidance and follow its recommendations. These regulations carry national security implications and introduce new compliance expectations that may affect research practices and collaborations.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your attention and continued commitment to responsible research practices.<\/p>\n
