Research Security Training

Federal funding agencies requirements for research security training to submit proposals:

  • Department of Energy (DOE) Beginning on May 1, 2025, all DOE Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) will include a requirement for all covered individuals to complete research security training in the 12 months immediately preceding the application date. Covered individuals from recipients or subrecipients who are added to an existing DOE award that includes the research security training requirement must complete the training within 30 calendar days of joining.
  • National Science Foundation (NSF) Beginning on October 10, 2025 all individuals identified as senior/key personnel must complete the requisite research security training that meets the research security training requirements within 12 months prior to application submission.
  • National Institute of Health (NIH) Beginning on January 25, 2026, all individuals identified as a senior/key person must complete the requisite research security training that meets the research security training requirements within 12 months prior to application submission.

Annual training during the life of the award:

  • Annual Certification at the time of the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR): Individuals serving as senior/key personnel must continue to certify annually that they have completed training within the past 12 months.

As other agencies are adding the requirement for research security training, we encourage all University researchers to complete the approximately one-hour research security training.
