The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) has provided a Guidance on Science & Security webpage that is regularly updated with information from Federal sponsors as well as other University units. To further assist researchers and research administrators in remaining informed about our shared responsibility to safeguard the security of our science and comply with federal requirements, OSR will begin a series of informational trainings on several topics in this area.
Background
The University remains strongly committed to encouraging and supporting collaborative research efforts worldwide. However, we take very seriously ongoing concerns raised by Federal entities that some research activities may be inappropriately influenced by international governments or other foreign entities and threaten the integrity of the U.S. research enterprise. It is important that all faculty, researchers, and staff understand these concerns and their impact on the research efforts at the University as communicated in the guidance from the Vice Chancellor for Research.
Format
OSR will provide a combination of computer based training (CBT) and live webinars to share information on Science & Security at UNC. This will include major areas of impacts, sponsor specific information and best practices.
