Foreign Travel Security
National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) and recent guidance from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) mandated stricter requirements for foreign travel security, including mandatory training and travel reporting by academic researchers. The Office of Research and Creative Scholarship is following these developments closely and will provide updates as we receive further guidance.
