Research Security Office
About
Oklahoma State University's Research Security Office advances the university’s research mission by offering specialized expertise in national security, export control compliance, research data protection, and operational security. The office also oversees related infrastructure and serves as a key liaison to regulatory partners and security agencies.
Purpose
The mission of Oklahoma State University’s (OSU) Research Security Office is to assist OSU faculty/staff/students in complying with highly technical regulations surrounding Research Security and Regulatory Trade (Export Control) Compliance and to do so in such a way as to foster the ongoing research, education, and outreach programs at OSU.
Why the Need?
The Research Security Office was established within the Division of Research due to either new Federal Regulation regarding Research Security coming from National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM 33) and/or the Chips and Science Act as well as increased scrutiny on universities from the Department of State, Department of Treasury, and Department of Commerce regarding Export Control Regulations. As pointed out by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the overarching purpose of the federal research security efforts (including export controls) “is to make sure that institutions of higher education (IHE) and other research institutions recognize the altered global landscape and fulfill their responsibilities as the first line of defense against improper or illicit activity.”
