Michigan Tech’s Research Security Team understands that faculty participation in collaborative innovation is important. We strive to provide an environment that allows faculty to collaborate across the world while being confident they are doing so securely. The team also aims to establish a positive reputation for research security that our sponsors recognize as being one of the top programs in the nation.
Michigan Tech is committed to protecting research while maintaining our core values, including openness and transparency. Research security helps to guard against several risks, including but not limited to the theft or misuse of research data, improper use of intellectual property, and the potential dissemination of untrustworthy scientific results. Other aspects of research security include sponsored projects with national security restrictions and the participation of foreign nationals, foreign influence on research activities, and international collaborations.
