- Abstract
This article discusses the institutional frameworks that guide research integrity and security in universities in Kenya, with a focus on the protection of intellectual property (IP) and the management of technology transfer. The expansion of Kenya's higher education system has led to an increased emphasis on universities contributing to solving social and environmental challenges and generating economically relevant knowledge. However, universities face challenges in ensuring research integrity and security, particularly in STEM subjects and commercially sensitive research areas. The article highlights the need for universities to establish research compliance structures and implement policies and guidelines to protect IP and manage technology transfer. Recommendations include sensitizing faculty and administration on potential risks, providing effective tools for research administrators, and implementing research integrity and security education and training programs. The study was approved by the Kenyatta University Ethics Review Committee and supported by CRDF Global and CNS.
