The Tri-Agencies have recently published the Tri-Agency Guidance on Research Security. This new webpage provides up-to-date guidance for the research community, with regards to the implementation of research security measures by the federal granting agencies. Tri-Agencies encourage all members of the research community to familiarize themselves with this guidance, as well as the linked policies, guidelines, and resources provided by the Government of Canada. Included in this webpage is the Tri-Agency Guidance on the Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern (STRAC Policy), which describes the granting agencies’ harmonized approach to implementing the STRAC Policy. Detailed information, including the attestation form, procedures, resources, and frequently asked questions are now available. This webpage also includes Tri-Agency Guidance on the National Security Guidelines for Research Partnerships, as well as a list of recommended research security resources. To learn more about the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s implementation of research security measures, please consult its dedicated guidance page.

For further information on the granting agencies’ implementation of the STRAC Policy, Tri-Agencies invite research staff to register to attend one of the following Tri-Agency webinars. Registration for this webinar series is by invitation only for relevant research services staff.
