Research security pressure is growing
Academic institutions are under increasing pressure to identify and manage potential research security risk while continuing to support open, international collaboration.
From undisclosed affiliations and complex funding relationships to restricted collaborations and emerging compliance expectations, research offices need to make defensible decisions quickly. But many teams still rely on disconnected systems, public sources, spreadsheets, and case-by-case reviews.
Dimensions Research Security brings reviewing and reporting into one workflow, helping institutions move from manual due diligence checks to a more consistent and auditable process.
Safeguard funding, reputation, and institutional trust
Dimensions Research Security gives research offices, compliance teams, and institutional leaders a clearer way to identify, review, and document potential research security risks.
With Dimensions Research Security, your institution can:
- Verify researcher disclosures about affiliations, funding, and collaborations
- Assess potential risk across proposals, partnerships, departments, and named researchers
- Identify concerning links to restricted entities, foreign affiliations, and undisclosed relationships
- Save targeted review configurations for repeatable, consistent workflow
- Move researchers into a managed review queue and access completed reviews
- Add notes, assign tags, and maintain a clear record of due diligence
- Generate reports that include the context stakeholders need to understand each review

Get a complete view of potential research security risk
Self-disclosures alone rarely provide the full picture. Dimensions Research Security connects global research data to help institutions uncover relationships and risk signals that can be difficult to identify manually.
Use Dimensions Research Security to:
- Map international affiliations, collaborations, grants, publications, patents, clinical trials, and funding relationships
- Surface potential concerns across researchers, departments, partner organizations, and collaborations
- Use configurable review criteria to focus on the signals most relevant to your institution’s policies and review processes
- Investigate underlying records quickly, with previews that show where relevant risk indicators appear
- Support disclosure verification with evidence that is easier to review, document, and share
For institutions needing automation, the Dimensions Research Security API delivers structured research security data into internal compliance, grants, HR, COI, and case management systems.
From static dashboards to workflow-driven reviews
Dimensions Research Security is evolving from a dashboard-led experience into a workflow and reporting solution for research security due diligence.
Research offices can now create and save review configurations, move researchers into a dedicated review queue, and track review status as work progresses. This helps teams manage growing volumes of proposals, partnerships, and active awards without relying on disconnected manual processes.
Build repeatable review configurations
Save complex filter sets as review configurations at the researcher or organization level. This allows teams to apply consistent criteria across recurring review scenarios, such as assessing researchers in a specific department, reviewing collaborators on sensitive projects, or identifying affiliations with restricted entities.
Manage reviews in one place
Move researchers from initial identification into a review queue, then track status as work progresses. Users can add researchers to be reviewed, and access reviews once completed, giving research offices a clearer view of what has been assessed and what still needs attention.
Document decisions as you work
Within workflow-enabled researcher reports, users can add custom notes, assign tags, and capture findings with date stamped reports. This creates a clearer institutional record and supports more consistent review practices.
Share audit-ready reports
When reports are exported, key context is included up front, including notes, tags, and the review configuration used. This makes reports easier for leadership, funders, auditors, and other stakeholders to understand, even when they do not have direct access to the platform.
Confident compliance through centralized, audit-ready insights
Dimensions Research Security consolidates the data and workflow tools academic institutions need to manage research security due diligence more efficiently.
Your teams can:
- Access a centralized view of publications, grants, patents, clinical trials, affiliations, funding, and collaborations
- Reduce manual effort with configurable, data driven reviews
- Verify disclosures more quickly and consistently
- Maintain a date stamped record of review activity
- Support audits, funder requests, and leadership reporting with clearer documentation
- Scale review activity through the Dimensions Research Security API
Prefer direct integration? The API extends structured research security data into your own secure workflows, supporting high-volume reviews and institution-level analysis.
