Recommendations to OSTP on National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 (Emily Weinstein, CSET)

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is asking the research community for best practices and policy prescriptions for securing certain U.S. government research and development (R&D) efforts. On August 10, 2021, OSTP Director Dr. Eric Lander published a statement, entitled “Clear Rules for Research Security and Researcher Responsibility,” in which he laid out the Biden administration’s plans to develop clear and effective implementation guidance for National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 (NSPM-33). This document, issued in the final days of the Trump administration, is intended to “strengthen 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.”
