Balancing Openness and Security Across the DoD Academic Research Enterprise (ARE)
Abstract
While the issue of balancing openness with security within the DoD academic research enterprise has been an ongoing challenge, the DoD needs a consistent approach in tackling this problem. As this report makes clear, the two-part threat of being outrun by strategic competitors in the fields of advanced technology along with the counterintelligence threat is real and growing. Adopting more proactive policies will deter aggression by reducing adversary ability to target U.S. institutions and technologies, as well as create an environment for the U.S. to take the lead once again in some critical areas of research. The recommendations included in this report provide actionable concepts for creating ways to better communicate threat information, protect sensitive technologies, attract talent, and provide for new alternatives for academia to engage in national security science and technology.
