Purpose
Federal and state governments and granting agencies have recognized the risks of foreign influence within the higher education research community and that some foreign governments, institutions, and researchers have used their participation in the research community to compromise U.S. national and economic security. While Georgia Southern University (University), recognizes the value and necessity of international collaborations in fulfilling the goals of education and research, the University is committed to these goals and to mitigating the risks to research security and foreign interference by following the highest standards of compliance in the pursuit of international collaborations with researchers and institutions similarly committed to research security, transparency, and reciprocity.
