Protecting Your Research

Georgia Tech is committed to maintaining an open environment to foster research discoveries and innovation that benefit our community and the world. Our international partnerships play a crucial role in our mission, and we are proud to connect students, faculty, and research collaborators around the world.

While an open, collaborative environment is supported at Georgia Tech, we must also protect your research and development against foreign government interference and misappropriation. Several federal mandates, including the implementation of National Security Presidential Memorandum-33, are informing ongoing changes in Institute systems, policies, and procedures. A collection of resources from federal agencies and national societies is also available.
