The U.S. National Science Foundation will make Research Security training mandatory effective Oct. 10. NC State has developed a REPORTER course that meets the training requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 10, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of the Chief of Research Security Strategy and Policy (OCRSSP) sent a notice to inform awardee organizations of several key policy changes \u2014 including Mandatory Research Security Training, effective Oct. 10, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In anticipation of this new NSF policy and to meet similar requirements already in place for awardees of the U.S. Department of Energy, NC State\u2019s Research Education and Training team has developed a new course that meets the mandated requirements. The Research Security training course can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. For those who wish to get a head start and complete the required training before the NSF\u2019s Oct. 10 implementation date, the course is available through REPORTER.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to announcing the new mandatory Research Security training, the NSF\u2019s July 10 email included a reminder about one other policy that\u2019s important to remain aware of. On at least an annual basis, all senior personnel on NSF-funded research projects must certify that they\u2019re prohibited from participating in malign foreign talent recruitment programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about the NSF\u2019s Annual Certification Requirement Regarding Prohibition on Participation in Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs, which is already in effect, visit this webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NC State is currently awaiting further guidance from other federal funding agencies, but all federal funding agencies will soon require Research Security training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Research Compliance Office will follow up with those affected by the NSF\u2019s new Research Security training requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
