NASA has announced a new research security training requirement for all covered individuals named on grant and cooperative agreement proposals.
Beginning August 5, 2026, covered individuals must attest that they have completed required research security training prior to proposal submission. This certification will be included in updated NASA Biographical Sketch and Current & Pending (Other) Support forms.
NASA has released advance copies of the updated forms to allow the research community time to prepare; however, these forms should not be used before August 5, 2026. Until that date, investigators should continue using the current forms available through NASA Grant Operations Management.
