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.
Covered Institutions must certify annually that Covered Individuals have completed compliant research security training. In addition, Covered Individuals and Senior/Key Persons must certify that they have completed research security training within 12 months of the date of application submission.
Covered individual or Senior/Key Person – an individual who
- Contributes in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of a research and development project proposed to be carried out with a research and development award from a federal research agency; and
- Designated as a covered individual by the federal research agency concerned.
Consistent with NSPM-33, this means principal investigators (PIs) and other senior/key personnel seeking or receiving federal research and development funding.
This training provides information on risks and threats to the global research ecosystem and the knowledge and tools necessary to protect against these risks. UMB’s Research Security team has launched the UMB Research Security training to satisfy the federal Research Security requirements.
