Institutions applying for or receiving CFI funding have research security obligations both when they apply for and after they receive funding and throughout the project's life. As the circumstances of the project change, the research security requirements for a project could change between the proposal and the final financial report, so be sure to consult the section below that describes what you need to do after your institution receives funding.

CFI鈥檚 approach to research security aims to mitigate two types of risks: risks related to partnerships and affiliations of concern for projects advancing a sensitive technology research area (STRA).
