All of this, with speed and precision, whether through user-friendly dashboards or the Dimensions Research Security API, which connects structured, continuously updated data directly into your university’s compliance systems.

Take steps toward full research visibility and confident compliance.

The threat is real and the stakes are high

From undisclosed dual affiliations to complex foreign funding relationships, government oversight is expanding and the consequences of non-compliance are serious: regulatory fines, reputational damage, and terminated funding. See the articles below for more information

The executive order on “Transparency Regarding Foreign Influence at American Universities,” which calls for greater transparency into international collaborations, funding sources, and research affiliations at educational institutions in the United States, makes the positions of the government and federal agencies clear.

Safeguard funding, reputation, and institutional trust

In an era of escalating oversight and growing institutional risk, Dimensions Research Security delivers game-changing advantages so that institutions can:

  • Identify and resolve hidden risks before they trigger compliance violations
  • Demonstrate transparency to federal agencies, funders, and stakeholders
  • Stay ahead of evolving disclosure mandates with continuously updated intelligence
  • Avoid costly penalties, loss of funding, and reputational harm by proactively addressing undisclosed risks.
  • Integrate structured research security data directly into COI, HR, and grants systems to scale reviews without additional manual steps.
