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.
Heads of funding agencies shall require that research institutions receiving Federal science and engineering support in excess of 50 million dollars per year certify to the funding agency that the institution has established and operates 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
The following requirements, as outlined in the Guidance for Implementing National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) on National Security Strategy for United States Government-supported Research and Development, are highlighted below:
- Cybersecurity
- Foreign travel security
- Research security training
- Export control training, as appropriate
- Research security point of contact (POC)
In addition to NSPM-33, the Department of Defense (DoD) has launched CMMC 2.0, a comprehensive framework designed to protect the defense industrial base from increasingly frequent and complex cyberattacks.
Committee
In preparation for the research security compliance requirements of NSPM-33, CMMC 2.0, and other relevant policies and practices, the Vice President for Research and Innovation at Michigan State University will receive recommendations from the research security committee for the implementation of a research security program.
