The 2026 Research Security Survey is now open. Complete the survey to share your feedback and inform the Government of Canada's ongoing efforts to safeguard Canadian science and research.
The new Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern came into effect on May 1, 2024. For any grant application from a university that aims to advance a sensitive technology research area, research team members involved in the activities supported by the grant must not be affiliated with, or in receipt of funding or in-kind support, from a university, research institution, or laboratory connected to military, national defence, or state security entities that could pose a risk to Canada’s national security. For such applications, applicants will also be required to attest to their compliance with the policy.
