Introduction to Research Security

The CCRE partnered with three other institutions and, under the guidance of the National Science Foundation, created four 60-minute Research Security Training modules that are designed to reflect research-based best practices in multimedia instructional design and adult learning. Design teams drew on a number of resources and frameworks in considering how to foster long-term, meaningful learning in a short-duration training module.

  • Module 1: What Is Research Security? Learn key concepts of research security and how to recognize situations that may indicate undue foreign influence. Understand the regulatory landscape that shapes research security and discover what you can do to safeguard the core values that underpin U.S. academic research.
  • Module 2: Disclosure Learn about federal funding agency disclosure requirements, including types of information that must be disclosed, how that information is used, and why such disclosures are fundamental to safeguarding the U.S. research enterprise from foreign government interference and exploitation. 
  • Module 3: Manage and Mitigate Risk Learn to identify types of international collaborative research and professional activities, associated potential risks, and strategies and best practices for managing and mitigating such risk. Learner experience will be customized based on their role as either a researcher or administrator.
  • Module 4: International Collaboration Learn about the role of principled international collaboration in U.S. science, innovation and economic competitiveness. Discover how to balance principled international collaboration with research security concerns, as well as how to foster an open, welcoming research environment that fulfills research security needs.
