NSPM-33 Update

National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 on National Security Strategy for United States Government-Supported Research and Development (NSPM-33) directs research institutions to establish Research Security programs, in response to the increasing need to protect U.S. funded scientific research from theft and exploitation. Informed by NSPM-33 and subsequent federal government guidance, Tufts is developing a Research Security Program. The university’s Research Security Program is supported by the Research Security Working Group.
