    Research Security Training

    September 17, 2025

    Dear UMB Research Community,

    The University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) continues to implement research security initiatives to ensure compliance with National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33), issued in January 2021, and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.

    Research security training is an element of UMB’s Research Security Program and is required by many federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation, and Department of Energy. Beginning Oct. 1, 2025, NIH will require all covered individuals/key persons on an award proposal to certify that they have completed research security training.

    This year, the University’s research security team developed UMB research security training, housed in Percipio, to satisfy the federal research security requirements. The Percipio training initially was assigned to all covered individuals/key persons who submitted a proposal to a federal sponsor (either directly or through a pass-through entity), or those who had received a federal award/contract (including a flow-through award/contract) within the previous 12 months.

    We are now focused on covered individuals/key persons who plan to submit a proposal to a federal sponsor, either directly or via a pass-through entity.

    It is strongly recommended that those who plan to submit a proposal to NIH complete their research security training as soon as possible to allow for data entry into Kuali Research and successful proposal submission. If research security training is not completed prior to proposal submission, the proposal could be delayed or may not be submitted. Please use this link to access the course in Percipio.

    If you have questions, please contact Jill Frankenfield, MSL, MS, associate vice president, SPA, or the UMB Research Security team.

    Sincerely,

    Patrick O’Shea, PhD, MS
    Vice President for Research
