Research Security are the principles and actions that protect the research enterprise from misappropriation, violations of research integrity, and foreign government interference. They are the collective system of controls that safeguards the research enterprise against threats to national and economic security integrity. This includes regulations, policies and procedures that protect the research enterprise from theft, misuse and unauthorized access. It also mitigates insider threats and foreign influence.
Research Security is centered around the following four key areas:
- International travel security
- Export Control training
- Cybersecurity
- Research Security training
By practicing research security, we safeguard information, data, technological advancement, and US economic and national security.
Every one of us chairs responsibility for maintaining security. Our collective efforts help the research community protect unpublished work intellectual property and reputations. Our commitment will retain our culture of innovation trust and collaboration and ensure good stewardship of sponsored funds.
It is the policy of Wake Forest University School of Medicine to fully abide by all federal and state laws and regulations that pertain to export controls.
