PROGRAM

RIMS and research security: How Research Information Management Systems can support research security compliance at a university
PANEL SESSION
Thursday, September 18, 2025
1:10 pm - 1:55 pm
Description

Research security compliance is an essential and challenging process for university research administrators. Many countries, including the United States, have instituted research security policies tied to government research grants, with the goal of safeguarding research from undue foreign influence. In this panel, we will discuss how Research Information Management Systems (RIMS) can support these efforts. Any research security work is only as good as the data behind it. RIMS offer one important source of research security data about faculty affiliations (current and prior), funding sources, and collaborators. We will hear how universities are using their RIM to support this use case.
