National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Security Training Requirement - Effective August 5, 2026
Starting on this date, all covered individuals named on NASA grant and cooperative agreement proposals must attest that they have completed research security training prior to proposal submission. This attestation will be made by signing a certification included in the following required proposal documents:
- NASA Biographical Sketch
- Current and Pending (Other) Support Forms
To support your preparation, NASA has provided advance copies of the updated NASA Biographical Sketch Form and Current & Pending (Other) Support Form that will be required beginning August 5, 2026. The new research security training attestation is clearly highlighted within these documents.
Important Reminder:
Do not use the updated forms before August 5, 2026. Until that time, please continue using the current versions of the biographical sketch and current and pending support forms available on the NASA Grant Operations Management website under “Grant Forms.”
For specific questions about research security and research security training, please contact the Research Security Office (RSO).
