The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is a critical concern for UIUC's research community. Many of our researchers are already working on projects from Federal agencies with CUI requirements in data handling, access, and protection. This presentation will discuss CUI at the University, its requirements for handling and protection, and our growing Regulated Research compliance program. We will discuss ongoing efforts, support, and what to expect in the future of CUI in research.

Josh Erenberg is the Regulated Research Program Manager within Technology Services. In this role, he enables Federally-funded research projects on campus with Controlled Unclassified Information through technology and consultation, as well as expanding the University’s capabilities to conduct this research. In coordination with the Research Administration community, Josh is developing the systems, processes, and support structures to facilitate regulated research from proposal to disposal.
