About Research Security at the University of Regina
As the University of Regina advances research excellence and innovation, protecting the integrity of our research has become increasingly important. In today’s evolving global research landscape, researchers may face risks related to data security, unintended knowledge transfer, foreign interference, and the protection of people, information, and intellectual property.
Research Security at the University of Regina provides centralized, practical support to help researchers identify, assess, and manage these risks across the research lifecycle. Working collaboratively with Research Services, Information Security, Privacy and Access, Enterprise Risk Management, Policy offices, and other institutional partners, we support researchers in designing and implementing projects that are secure and compliant while respecting academic freedom and responsible research practice.
Our support includes:
- Research security risk assessment guidance and project planning
- Partner due diligence and collaboration risk considerations
- Guidance on research security requirements linked to funding and sponsorship
- Data protection, secure information handling, and privacy compliance advice
- Travel security guidance and awareness
- Training and awareness sessions for research teams
- One-on-one consultations tailored to specific projects or concerns
If you have any questions or would like to request a consultation, please contact us at research.security@uregina.ca
