Training compliance, per person, per window.
Federal research-security training requirements now attach to every applicable federal application. The agencies converge on the same operational problem, proving at submission time that every covered person's training is current, while each defines its own implementation details. Training Compliance tracks status per person and surfaces gaps to the AOR before submission.
What it produces
- RST status per senior/key person, per application: inside or outside the 12-month window as of the submission date.
- An institution-wide compliance view: who is at risk of falling out of window in the next 30, 60, or 90 days.
- An audit record of what training was accepted as qualifying, per person, per certification.
Per-agency implementations
- NIH (NOT-OD-26-017). For applications with due dates on or after May 25, 2026, senior/key personnel must have completed qualifying research security training within the previous 12 months, and the AOR certifies this on the application.
- NSF (IN-149). Requirement effective December 2, 2025, with certification of training within 12 months of proposal submission under NSF's implementation.
- DOE. Research security training required effective May 1, 2025 under DOE's own implementation.
How the window works
The compliance clock resets per person, per submission, not per institutional cohort or annual training day. An RSO or AOR who "cleared" training for a group on July 1 is not clear for submissions in September against a person who completed training the previous August. Training Compliance handles that arithmetic institutionally.
Scope boundaries
- It does not deliver the training itself. Institutions choose their training source.
- It does not certify content adequacy. The institution certifies that its accepted training meets the four CHIPS-mandated topics.
- It does not enforce; it surfaces. Gaps are visible before the AOR signs, not after.
