Secure Your Success_ Key Policies to Protect Your Research and Navigate PitfallsDownload

Description:

Understanding the university’s research policies has never been more important for researchers. Over the past five years, federal agencies and law enforcement have significantly intensified their oversight of research integrity and security, resulting in unprecedented enforcement actions across universities nationwide. Whether you’re new to research, new to Northeastern University, or a seasoned investigator, this session will ground university policies in a practical context through case-based learning. Participants will examine actual situations where policy knowledge can make a difference. The workshop covers federal regulations, institutional requirements, and emerging security concerns that impact all researchers, regardless of discipline or funding source.

This interactive session includes dedicated time for Q&A, allowing participants to discuss specific scenarios and get expert guidance from research administration professionals. While the session will be recorded, live attendance is strongly encouraged to ensure your questions are addressed in real-time.

This session also qualifies for RCR Training credit.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify current federal enforcement trends and how heightened scrutiny affects research practices across all disciplines and funding sources.
  2. Analyze case study scenarios to recognize potential policy violations and security risks before they occur in their own research.
  3. Navigate key Northeastern University research policies and connect them to specific federal regulations and compliance requirements.
  4. Apply policy knowledge to evaluate real-world research situations and determine appropriate actions to protect research integrity and security.
  5. Recognize early warning signs of potential compliance issues and identify appropriate university resources for guidance and support.
