Editorial commentary
NSPM-33 establishes a government-wide policy framework requiring consistent disclosure of conflicts of interest, conflicts of commitment, foreign affiliations, and outside support across federal funding agencies. It mandates the development of standardised disclosure forms, research security training, and consequences for non-disclosure. Implementation guidance has been progressively issued by OSTP, NSF, NIH, DOE, and DOD, with implementation expected through subsequent agency-specific policies. The memorandum is considered the cornerstone US instrument for research security policy.
