The Research on Research Security Program

NSF is committed to securing the nation's research enterprise as part of its core mission. The Research on Research Security (RoRS) program will advance the understanding of the full scope, potential, challenges, and nature of the research on research security field through scholarly evidence. Background The following activities provide background and context for developing proposals to submit to the RoRS program. <ul> <li>The foundational legislative and policy documents include <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-memorandum-united-states-government-supported-research-development-national-security-policy/">National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 (NSPM-33)</a>and its associated supporting documents, as well as research security provisions in CHIPS and Science Act 2022.</li> <li>In 2022 NSF asked JASON to consider what a research program on research security might entail and how it would be defined.The findings are summarized in the report (JSR-22-08), <a href="https://nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/2023-03/JSR-22-08%20NSF%20Research%20Program%20on%20Research%20Security_03152023_FINAL_1.pdf?VersionId=lwtxqUjbqGNmbtJ7E66IqQBbt9gzCV8A">Research Program on Research Security</a>.</li> <li>The 2024 NSF-funded workshop, <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/good-bye?https://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/responsible-collaboration-through-appropriate-research-security">Responsible Collaboration Through Appropriate Research Security</a>: A Workshop To Discuss and Study the Emergent Discipline of Research on Research Security, identified current themes, major issues, and challenges in research security.</li> </ul> Program Description Collectively, the research that RoRS funds will foster a broad community that builds collaborations between the STEM research community, research security researchers, and research security practitioners. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, and proposers should address how they will leverage...
