Over the past several years, the federal government has placed increased emphasis on protecting public investment in science, preventing the misuse of sensitive data and technologies, and ensuring the security of research personnel, including those traveling abroad.
As part of the implementation of National Security Measure Presidential Memorandum -33 and provisions under the CHIPS and Science Act, Federal regulations and guidance require that all principal investigators, co-principal investigators, and other types of key/senior research personnel who apply for federal funding take Research Security Training before the submission of any new funding proposal request, including non-competitive segments of current awards.
Who is required to take Research Security Training?
Research Security Training is strongly encouraged for all members of the CSU research community and is available to everyone. Anyone named as key personnel on proposals to federal funding agencies or resulting awards must take RST, including CSU faculty, staff, post-doctoral scholars, and students.
Additional groups may be required to take RST based on agency policy and award terms and conditions. These individuals will be contacted directly by OVPR.
Frequency of Research Security Training
Research Security Training must be completed annually and within 12 months prior to any new funding request.
