Security program content (research organizations over $50M in federal funding for each of the previous 2 fiscal years) 1. Cybersecurity 2. Foreign travel security 3. Research security training 4. Export control training, as appropriate 2
Foreign Travel Security Research organization must maintain international travel policies including: Organizational record of covered international training by faculty and staff (optional disclosure/authorization requirement in advance of training) Security briefings Electronic device security (smartphones, laptops) Pre-registration requirements 4
Research Security & Export Controls Need research security point of contact (with contact info) Research organizations must provide training to relevant personnel on: Research security threat awareness and identification Consider incorporating research security into Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training Conduct tailored training in the event of a security incident Export control training (as appropriate) Train relevant personnel on requirements and processes for reviewing foreign sponsors, collaborators, and partnerships Ensuring compliance with export control requirements and restricted parties lists 5
Conclusion and Key Messages NSPM-33 compliance will require expanded effort and resources (and communications) Overall risk-based approach will be critical (nondiscriminatory) Link training wherever possible (faculty, staff, students) Mandatory training for covered individuals Planning timeline?
