The US National Science Foundation has just announced two webinars following up on a recent “Dear Colleague” letter (see https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf23126 ). Here are some details from the announcement. Note that the webinars will be recorded, and the recordings available following the sessions. Registration for the sessions:

Webinar for the DCL on Creating a Research on Research Security Program (RRSP)
NSF is in the process of creating a Research on Research Security Program (RRSP) to fund research that will: (a) identify and characterize attributes that distinguish research security from research integrity; (b) improve understanding of the nature, scale and scope of research security risks; (c) provide insight into methods for identifying, mitigating and preventing research security violations; and (d) develop methodologies to assess the potential impact of research security threats on the U.S. economy, national security, and research enterprise. RRSP also will support the development of partnerships and collaborations of diverse groups of scientists and institutions in this research area as well as training resources for the research community.
The two identical webinars will be held, the first on Thursday, July 13 from 4:00 until 6:00 pm EDT, and the second on Wednesday, July 26 from 2:00 until 4:00 pm EDT. The webinars will be video recorded and both the videos and slides shown will be placed on the web at Research Security. (https://new.nsf.gov/research-security)
We encourage you to send questions in advance of the webinar to [email protected] and to visit the Office of the Chief of Research Security Strategy and Policy web page (see below) for more information about NSF’s research security activities.
Please share this information with your colleagues, and we look forward to your participation.
