Research Security Training

September 2, 2025

Research Security is crucial for protecting the integrity, value, and safety of scientific research. Protecting scientific research prevents intellectual property theft and threats to national security. Federal research sponsors now require principal investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs to complete Research Security Training prior to submitting a research proposal.

The training requirement is already in effect for proposal submissions to the DOE, DOD, and USDA. The NSF and NIH will implement the Research Security Training requirement in October 2025. The Office for Research offers free Research Security Training to ISU faculty, staff, and students via the CITI online training system. Training content includes International Collaboration, Foreign Interference, Cybersecurity, Disclosure & Transparency, and Proper Use of Funds. The training will require 60-90 minutes to complete. Please contact Chuck Rizzo, Director or Research Integrity and Compliance, if you have questions concerning Research Security Training availability or requirements.
