About this file

This is a Security Program Questionnaire template used to evaluate the security practices of institutions receiving research funding under the FY26 DEPSCoR Research Collaboration program. The questionnaire is completed by applicant collaborators and reviewed by the Science and Technology Protection Lead. It requires detailed documentation across 13 key security areas: physical security plans, information security processes, data storage locations, information transmission and transportation procedures, information disposal and destruction protocols, information reproduction procedures, personnel access safeguards, Government-Furnished Equipment/Information (GFE/GFI) protection plans, cybersecurity and network protection measures, operations security processes to prevent adversarial access, insider threat detection and mitigation processes, information compromise response procedures, and willingness to provide annual AFRL Security and Technology Protection training to all personnel with access.

The questionnaire serves as a compliance and risk assessment tool for the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (AFRL), which administers the DEPSCoR program offering up to $14.4 million in total funding for up to 24 grants at $600,000 total cost each ($200,000 annually over three years). Applicants must complete the questionnaire with their CAGE Code/SCL level and designate a responsible individual by position and title. The template includes fields for submission date and additional security-related comments, establishing a standardized evaluation framework to ensure that institutions receiving DoD research funding maintain adequate security protocols aligned with national security requirements and DoD mission objectives.
