Safeguarding Research

International research partnerships and collaborations facilitate discovery and innovation, increase participant diversity and reinforce the validity of study findings. These collaborations are vital to UHN’s ability to achieve its research mission to together drive excellence in discovery and innovation to create A Healthier World.

However, given the geopolitical climate, some partnerships may come with risks related to theft, interference, or misuse of the research outputs. It is important that UHN researchers understand and mitigate against these risks.

To help safeguard Canadian research, the Government of Canada and Government of Ontario have developed a series of policies and guidelines to address research security concerns. 

 

What is Research Security? 

Research security refers to the measures taken to protect knowledge, technologies and data from unwanted access, interference or theft. 

UHN is  committeed to working with our partners to ensure the integrity and quality of its research outputs. UHN's goal is to enable research activities while balancing open academic collaborations with awareness of, and compliance with, security requirements. The UHN Research Partnership Security Working Group was established to support the UHN research community in navigating this evolving area and changing landscape. 

 

What do UHN researchers need to do? 

UHN researchers are responsible for complying with the research security requirements for the grants for which they are applying. Researchers are required to comply with the research security requirements for the duration of the grant.  
 
If UHN researchers have questions or concerns about any of their own partnerships, they should submit a UHN Research Partnership Information Form to the UHN Research Partnership Security Working Group.
