Research Security Training
The Research Security Training program provides information on risks and threats to the global research ecosystem — and the knowledge and tools necessary to protect against these risks. It discusses the key concepts of research security, disclosure, risk management and mitigation, and international collaboration.
Who is required to take this training?
All covered individuals participating in projects sponsored by federal agencies with research security training requirements. The definition of covered individual varies depending on the federal agency. Generally, however, it is:
- “An individual who (A) contributes in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of an R&D project proposed to be carried out with an…award from a Federal research agency; and (B) is designated as a covered individual by the Federal research agency concerned.” See Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Memo.
- The USDA requires all individuals employed to work on a USDA award to complete Research Security Training (see USDA’s General Terms and Conditions for Federal Awards).
