This policy specifies how the institution will safeguard ETSU research and development against interference by U.S.-designated foreign adversaries or any threat to the integrity and conduct of institution’s research activities. State law requires the establishment of this policy.
The penultimate paragraph of the policy says: “At a minimum, the incident reporting and response program shall require ETSU employees and researchers to report information that may negatively impact research security and shall establish procedures for resolving research security incidents in coordination with necessary University and campus programs and offices. The incident reporting and response program shall also establish points of contact and communication standards for any required communications with government personnel in relation to research security incidents.”
