RESEARCH SECURITY FOR UNIVERSITIES
Collaborate and conduct research securely with risk intelligence tools to identify and respond to state-sponsored risks
COMPLEXITY IS GROWING
Open collaboration is essential for driving innovation and securing competitive funding, but it also exposes universities to state-sponsored risks, including technology transfer and compromised personnel.
Identifying and mitigating these risks is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly when researchers are targeted by competing nations.
Universities often lack access to critical, hard-to-find data needed for thorough risk assessments.
Researchers may unknowingly compromise funding compliance by failing to disclose key relationships, such as involvement in foreign talent programs.
Grant Funding Compliance
Screen researchers’ backgrounds to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Monitor talent program memberships to protect your funding from undisclosed affiliations that could lead to regulatory breaches.
Research Partnership Due Dilligence
Perform due diligence on potential partners to avoid restricted entities, including those tied to the PLA or Russian militaries. Screen key employees to ensure they don’t have ties to restricted organizations outside the partnering entity.
Education of Researcher Community
Identify internal researchers who specialize in areas targeted by foreign states for intellectual theft. Brief them on state-sponsored tactics before travel or key activities to protect their work from targeted risks.
Visiting Scholar Screening
Quickly screen visiting scholars by cross-referencing their affiliations, funding sources, and potential risky connections to protect research, uphold academic integrity, and safeguard your institution’s reputation.
