Research Security Training
Federal research sponsors are, or soon will be, requiring Research Security Training for “covered individuals.” For example, the Department of Energy is now requiring the training at time of proposal for some funding opportunities, and NSF will begin requiring this training effective May 1, 2025. PIs, Co-PIs, senior/key personnel, or other project personnel identified in the request for proposals, notice of funding opportunity, or award terms and conditions must complete Research Security Training.
