Over the past three plus years, the issue of foreign influence over U.S. government-sponsored research has been front and center for the research
community. There have been numerous high-profile prosecutions of professors, and civil enforcement actions against research institutions. Presidential
Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) set forth the goal of “strengthen[ing] protections of United States Government-supported R&D against foreign government
interference and exploitation" while "maintaining an open environment to foster research discoveries and innovation that benefit our nation and the world.”
In August 2021, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) tasked the National Science and Technology Council with promulgating “clear and
effective” NSPM implementation guidance. NSTC issued its guidance document on January 3, 2022, which includes a five-part platform to enhance research
security.
