Research Security Framework

The ARC Research Security Framework provides transparency on how the ARC manages risks related to security, defence and international relations.

• These activities help protect ARC‑funded research from potential risks and support the Minister in meeting obligations under the ARC Act.
•  The Framework is a publicly available document outlining how the ARC responds to research security risks throughout all stages of a grant.
• The ARC is committed to safeguarding funded research from misuse while continuing to support international collaboration that drives scientific and intellectual progress.
• The Framework explains how the ARC works with Australian universities and government agencies to support compliance with legislative requirements.
