Policy updates from federal sponsors: Research security training

Posted by
On January 22, 2026

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) implementation of research security training requirements outlined in the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 will take effect for applications with due dates on or after Monday, May 25.

Senior and key personnel listed on an NIH grant application must certify that they have completed the training within 12 months of the date of submission. NIH does not collect current and pending (other) support at the time of application based on the Just-in-Time policy. Therefore, NIH will collect the individual certification at the time of the application submission, through the biographical sketch in SciENcv, a tool for researchers to create and manage their professional profile.

If you have any questions on the training or how to complete it, reference the training on the research and innovation website or email Jessica Convertine.
