Research Security Program
Overview
To comply with the research security requirements outlined in the Presidential Memorandum on United States Government-Supported Research and Development National Security Policy (NSPM-33) and other applicable regulations, a research security committee has been formed at Michigan State University. This committee will provide recommendations to the Vice President for Research and Innovation for implementing a Research Security Program.

Institutional research security programs should include elements of cyber security, foreign travel security, insider threat awareness and identification, and, as appropriate, export control training. Heads of funding agencies shall consider whether additional research security program requirements are appropriate for institutions receiving Federal funding for R&D in critical and emerging technology areas with implications for United States national and economic security.Section 4(g) of NSPM-33
