On September 27, 2023, COGR is hosted a virtual, interactive workshop to provide an opportunity for members to share information on institutional efforts to comply with research security requirements and how to assess associated costs and institutional burden. The workshop was led by COGR directors and members of COGR’s four committees.
NSTC is expected to finalize its model disclosure forms and research security program standards this autumn, and upon their issuance, COGR will initiate Phase II of its research security cost survey. This workshop provided a forum for institutions to discuss their compliance strategies, learn about the methodology of the Phase II survey, and consider the resources they will need to implement research security programs and additional disclosure requirements. The workshop begins with an overview of current requirements and the Phase II survey, and then participants joined break-out rooms to discuss how their institutions are addressing certification mandates, training requirements, security program structures and associated costs and administrative burden.
Institutions that participated in the Workshop will be highly encouraged to complete the Phase II Survey. Phase II will be initiated later this autumn, and COGR will follow-up with workshop participants at the time to determine if they will participate.
Questions and topics of interest may be sent in advance of the session to Kristin West at kwest@cogr.edu.
