Narrative and/or website URL outlining the institution’s means of publicly disclosing external research funding:
The University of Colorado Boulder is a state institution, nonprofit, and public university. The right to publish and ensure openness in academics and research is inherent to the university's mission. CU Boulder is committed to the fundamental value of academic freedom (Regent Law, Article 5). This commitment allows CU Boulder considerable regulatory latitude not afforded to commercial entities. In keeping with this commitment, CU Boulder shall not accept restrictions on sponsored projects or publication, absent compelling reasons. Agreements which impose restrictions must be addressed to mitigate impact for students, postdocs, and faculty working on such projects. State law requires reporting the existence of agreements with external parties and receipt of associated funds. An agreement that imposes restrictions on publication or participation is considered restricted research. These restrictions may be in addition to, or not related to, export control restrictions. The Academic Affairs Policy on Openness in Research provides definitions and protocols under which restricted research can be accepted. ~https://www.colorado.edu/ocg/publications-restrictions. Academic Affairs Policy on Openness in Research: The University relies on the open and free exchange of ideas to meet its mission of discovery and learning and to support the fundamental value of academic freedom (Regent Law, Article 5.). This commitment to open, fundamental research also allows the University considerable regulatory latitude not afforded to commercial institutions. In keeping with this commitment, the University shall not accept restrictions on research involvement or publication, absent compelling reasons. There may be circumstances in which the University and the public may benefit from participation in restricted or classified research. The purpose of this policy is to clarify those situations in which the university can accept publication or other restrictions while still preserving the principle of openness in research.
