Research Security

NSF定义 Research Security as: Safeguarding the research enterprise against the misappropriation of research and development to the detriment of national or economic security, related violations of research integrity, and foreign government interference.

Speaking broadly, research security refers to national security concerns surrounding research involving certain types of sensitive data, intellectual property, export-controlled information, 还有其他风险. Research security programs are designed to protect the means, know-how and products of research until it is properly disseminated.

NDSU is committed to fostering open scientific research and collaboration with scholars from across the world. While the vast majority of the world does not present a risk to the research enterprise, the federal government is concerned about threats to the integrity and security of our academic research including:

Improper foreign influence in federally funded research
Researcher failure to disclose foreign affiliations
Conflicts of interest (COI) and conflicts of commitment (COC) with federal funding agencies and U.S. 雇主
Intellectual property theft
Economic and academic espionage
Disclosure/diversion of confidential grant application information
