Effective Thursday, October 23, 2025, all international travel requests for CIRES employees will also be reviewed by the CIRES Export Control team. A new tab will be added to the InsideCIRES travel request form which will ask travelers to respond to questions related to export control and CU property.  

Once travelers submit an international travel request on InsideCIRES they will be connected to the CIRES Export Control team via an automatically generated email.  Please be sure to promptly respond to any follow-up questions from the CIRES Export Control team. They will answer all questions related to export control. Approval of your international travel request can only be done once all review is complete – including the review by the CIRES Export Control team. 

International travel requires review for export control compliance to ensure travelers follow US laws that regulate sharing certain technologies, information, data, or equipment abroad. This helps protect both the individual and the university from legal risks and ensures sensitive information is not shared unintentionally.  

Please give the CIRES Travel Team & Export Control team enough time to complete their reviews and approvals of your international travel request. The sooner you know your travel plans and submit your travel request, the better!
