This course introduces the federal research security guidelines, reviews the core values and practices that support research security, and identifies situations in which undue foreign influence threatens the research enterprise. It is divided into four key sections: (1) What is Research Security?; (2) Disclosure; (3) Manage and Mitigate Risk; and (4) International Collaboration. This training provides recipients of federal research funding with information on risks and threats to the global research ecosystem, and the knowledge and tools necessary to protect against these risks. Target Audience: USC faculty, researchers, students, postdocs, staff, and others (e.g., contractors, external collaborators) are required to take the Research Security Training course when they are: Identified as a “covered individual” (typically senior/key personnel) on a sponsored grant, contract, or subcontract for which the sponsor requires research security training; or Specifically identified by the Office of Ethics and Compliance or the Office of Research and Innovation as requiring the training per sponsor guidelines to work on a research grant, contract, or subcontract.
