Safeguarding Your Research
WHY SAFEGUARDING YOUR RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT
Canada’s world-leading research thrives on open scholarship and strong international collaboration.
However, this openness and collaborative approach can also create vulnerabilities to those who will go to any means to access, steal, and benefit from this research. For this reason, it is important for researchers to be aware of key areas of risk:
- Cybersecurity
- People
- Partnerships
- Physical Space
- Intellectual Property
FEDERAL POLICIES & GUIDELINES
To safeguard the integrity of research from unintended access and use, the Government of Canada has implemented various research security policies, guidelines, and requirements for funded research projects.
UNIVERSITY RESOURCES
The University has developed resources to support researchers in implementing best practices to safeguard their research and navigate the security requirements of government and funding agencies.
