Research Activity Guides
Find guidance based on the research activity you're conducting.
Research activities can involve multiple research security requirements and considerations. ORS Research Activity Guides bring together practical guidance to help faculty, staff, and students understand what may apply to common research activities and when additional review or assistance may be needed.
Use the guides when working with international collaborators, sponsors, visitors, or research personnel; traveling or working internationally; sharing or transferring research information, data, materials, equipment, software, or technology; using specialized research technologies or services; or conducting other activities that may involve research security requirements.
Each guide highlights key considerations, related requirements and resources, and when to contact ORS for assistance.
