Let’s Talk! NSPM-33 Research Security Compliance Programs
There’s a new research data protection initiative on the block. Unlike previous initiatives targeting specialized sensitive research, National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) addresses any federally funded U.S. research and development activity, even fundamental research. NSPM-33 will soon require many research institutions to establish and operate a research security program. In this facilitated discussion, you'll collaborate with peers and share ideas on how to implement your NSPM-33 research security compliance program. We'll work through individual NSPM-33 controls in small groups to understand implementation approaches. At the end of the session, we will hold a large group discussion to discuss differing approaches and build an institutional “next steps” action list.
