The National Science Foundation awarded William Marsh Rice University (Office of Sponsored Projects) $299,997 on August 15, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to quantify the scale and perception of foreign influence threats in U.S. research security. The project establishes baseline rates of foreign influence mechanisms—including undisclosed rewards, coercion, and theft—among U.S. academic researchers and administrators using sophisticated questioning techniques that protect respondent anonymity. The work compares actual prevalence of security threats against threat levels perceived by researchers and administrators to identify critical perception gaps. This empirical foundation supports evidence-based federal policy development while safeguarding intellectual property and maintaining responsible international scientific collaboration. The study builds on recommendations from a recent NSF-funded workshop and uses mixed methods to address the knowledge gap that currently forces policymakers to rely on anecdotal evidence rather than reliable data regarding research security incidents. Performance is located in Houston, Texas, with a period of performance from August 15, 2026, through July 31, 2028. This is a project grant (assistance type).
