Foreign Travel Security

NSPM-33 Directive to Federal Agencies

Federal agencies should require the following from research organizations:

  • Maintain international travel policies for faculty and staff traveling for organization business, teaching, conference attendance, research purposes, or any offers of sponsored travel that would put a person at risk.
  • Foreign Travel Security Training: Each Covered Institution must certify it provides periodic foreign travel security training to "Covered Individuals" engaged in international travel for business, teaching, conferences, or research. This training must begin within one year after a federal agency provides a "foreign travel security training resource," and then at least once every six years.
  • Foreign Travel Reporting Program: Covered Institutions must implement a travel reporting program that includes an organizational record of international travel for covered individuals participating in R&D awards when a federal research agency determines security risks warrant travel reporting per the award terms.

The reporting program requirement applies to persons who (a) meet the definition of “Covered Individual”; and (b) are participating in an R&D award that the federal research agency has determined presents security risks that warrant travel reporting and includes this requirement in the award terms.
