New Resources from the NSF
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) SECURE Center hosts the consolidated research security training module, which condenses the content of the original NSF research security training into into one shorter module and was designed to meet all of the research security training requirements of the CHIPS and Science Act. This training was developed for recipients of federal research funding and the research community “with information on risks and threats to the global research ecosystem — and the knowledge and tools necessary to protect against these risks.”
