The current regulatory landscape informing the research enterprise includes serious growing concerns by the U.S. government regarding malign influence over federally funded research. To address the growing concerns around research security, U.S. federal regulations such as the National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 require specific individuals involved in federally funded research to complete research security training.
Research Security Training includes:
- Introduction to Research Security
- The Importance of Disclosure
- Risk Mitigation and Management
- International Collaboration
National Science Foundation Research Security Course
The National Science Foundation, in partnership with the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense, have developed online research security training for the research community. The training provides 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.
UWM Research Security Course (Canvas Training)
This course is a condensed and combined version of the National Science Foundation’s more extensive Research Security Training.
