Research Security

The University of Notre Dame has a deep commitment to advancing knowledge through international collaboration and scholarly exchange. At Notre Dame, we believe that global engagement is essential to solving the world’s most pressing challenges and fostering academic excellence across disciplines. Our researchers work alongside international peers to make transformative discoveries that improve human life, sustain the environment, and promote peace and justice.

At the same time, we understand the importance of balancing this global mission with our responsibility to safeguard the integrity of U.S. research. We will continue to work closely with government agencies, peer institutions, and the global research community to uphold these commitments, ensuring that Notre Dame remains a leader in both international scholarship and research security.
