AAU has submitted comments in response to OSTP’s request for information on the draft NSPM-33 Research Security Programs Standard Requirement. The comments address overarching concerns including accounting for a risk-based approach and requesting clarity on the four program requirements: foreign travel security, research security training, cybersecurity, and export controls training.
The comments express appreciation “that the drafted requirements provide flexibility to institutions to implement and meet certain requirements. However, we find that specific improvements would make the standards clearer and more effective.”
