Research Security

Welcome to Research Security Training 

Due to legislation such as the National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 (NSPM-33) and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, all covered individuals, as defined in CHIPS and Science Act Section 10638, are required to participate in training that:

(1) Provides covered individuals with explicit examples of behaviors that have resulted in a known improper or illegal transfer of U.S. government-supported R&D in the context of the research environment, as described to the covered institution by federal research agencies;

and

(2) Communicates to covered individuals the importance of U.S. researcher participation in global discoveries, including attracting foreign talent to U.S. research institutions, as a core principle of maintaining international leadership and national security.

This training from the National Science Foundation satisfies this requirement by providing recipients of federal research funding with information on risks and threats to the global research ecosystem — and the knowledge and tools necessary to protect against these risks.
