On Thursday, March 21 the National Science Foundation (NSF) released a report prepared by the independent JASON group titled "Safeguarding the Research Enterprise" which takes a broad look at issues around research security (including, but going far beyond, topics like Controlled Unclassified Information, or CUI) and makes recommendations to NSF. This report is well worth reading for those interested in NSF evolving thinking about research security, and how that relates to broader government policies and the approaches of other agencies. .
