What is Research Security?
Research security is a broad term that refers primarily to national security concerns surrounding research involving certain types of sensitive data, intellectual property, export controlled information, and other risks. An area which the federal government has focused on as critical to protecting the security of U.S. research is the disclosure of conflicts of interest and commitment, including relationships or affiliations with foreign entities, and research support provided by those entities.
AAMU Research Security Program
The Research Security Program is a collaboration between several AAMU departments based on university policies and federal regulations. The Director of Research Compliance, reporting to the Vice-President for Research, serves as the university's research security program's point of contact.
This website has been developed to (1) provide resources to the campus community and (2) formalize the ongoing development of Alabama A&M University's Research Security Program as required by National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33).
AAMU Research Security Program has four major components:
The Director of Research Compliance will work with the AAMU-Research Security Program Committee (RSPC) to identify and monitor issues related to foreign influence, export/import controls, conflict of interest/commitment, research data security, and federal disclosures particularly as they relate to compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and federal funding requirements.
