About Foreign Sources Reporting
To meet the university’s obligations for foreign sources reporting, UNLV must collect data on all gifts from and contracts with foreign entities campus wide, regardless of the exchange of monies. In collaboration with the UNLV Office of General Counsel, campus units have been identified as potential entry points for incoming gifts from and contracts with foreign entities including but not limited to Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), cooperative agreements, and non-disclosure agreements.
