Dear Research Administrators,

I am pleased to invite you to a regional webinar on research security, led by the Director of The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier, and supported by the National Science Foundation.  The webinar is being hosted by the University of Minnesota and several other institutions from Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon and North Dakota have been invited to participate.
