Navigating the Complexities of Research Security - On Research Podcast

Research security is about protecting the means, know-how, and products of U.S. research and development until they are ready to be shared. In 2021, the government issued a national presidential memorandum with updated requirements for institutions around research. Emily Bradford joins us to explain these new research security requirements and suggests how to grow or build a program to meet these updated requirements.
