The document summarizes a panel discussion on the recently released NSPM-33 implementation guidance, focusing on key institutional considerations for compliance with new federal requirements related to researcher disclosures and research security. The guidance emphasizes harmonization among agencies (notably NIH and NSF), standardization of forms, reduction of administrative burden, and use of digital persistent identifiers, while highlighting ongoing challenges in harmonizing areas like consulting, mentoring, and certification. Institutions are advised to proactively assess existing systems, coordinate across departments, initiate training, prepare for correcting past disclosure mistakes, and anticipate new research security program mandates, as the timeline for compliance is advancing rapidly.
