The University of Michigan has adopted three new Standard Practice Guides that clarify and consolidate the responsibilities of principal investigators, outline how U-M protects its research enterprise and elevate existing policies prohibiting faculty and staff from participating in malign foreign talent recruitment programs.
The SPGs, published Nov. 6, consolidate and codify expectations previously established across multiple university policies and procedures while also addressing federal research prohibitions. They also reinforce that research security depends on coordinated efforts across the university.
