A March 2023 report issued by JASON and commissioned by NSF. Provides definitions of Research Integrity as adherence to accepted values and principles -- objectivity, honesty, openness, accountability, fairness, and stewardship -- that guide the conduct of research. Research Security is protecting the means, know-how, and products of research until they are ready to be shared. JASON suggests research security does not vary across disciplines, but the consequences of breaches in research security and the measures taken to prevent breaches will differ. Key points include an emphasis on training researchers on risks in international collaborations, the need to encourage collaboration with international organizations that are also concerned with research security, and avoiding creating a reputation of racial profiling or using the research security programs to disadvantage anyone based on ethnicity or nationality.
