Research Security
LSU embraces the core values of truth, integrity, excellence, and engagement. Our Research Security Office, housed within the Office of Research & Economic Development, strives to foster a research culture based on these values. Two federal acts, National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 and the Chips & Science Act, require LSU A&M in Baton Rouge to provide online research security training. Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art research security in the areas of cybersecurity, data management, international collaborations, international travel, and undue foreign influence.
LSU's Research Security Policy is in alignment with federal directives and critical to ensuring the knowledge generated at LSU is protected from all potential threats.
Annual online research security training is required by the LSU Research Security Policy (PS46) and by federal funding agencies. Navigate to the CITI Program website to register for and complete the Research Security Training-Combined course.
