A Workshop to Develop the Future Direction of the National Science Foundation’s Research on Research Security (RoRS) Program
In May 2024, a team from Rice University, the University of Houston, IPTalons, Inc., and the Society of Research Administrators International will host a first-of-its-kind global workshop to examine the burgeoning field of research on research security (RoRS). Participants will identify current themes, major issues, and challenges in research security, as well as chart a road map for future of the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s RoRS program.
This is a two-part, invite-only workshop. Participants will attend a virtual workshop on May 2 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm CDT. An in-person workshop will be held May 23–24, 2024 at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.
Supported by the NSF’s Office of the Chief of Research Security, Strategy, and Policy, the workshop will bring together leading experts from academia, government, and industry to explore the threats and challenges facing the international research and innovation ecosystem.
The workshop is led by Rice University’s Office of Research Security and the Baker Institute Science and Technology Program in close collaboration with the University of Houston, IPTalons, Inc., the Society of Research Administrators International, and the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 2348714).
