Foreign labs getting U.S. funds would face quarterly animal welfare inspections.
This bill would require foreign laboratories that receive money from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for animal research to have quarterly inspections. These inspections would check if the labs are following animal welfare rules. If a lab doesn't follow the rules and fix problems, it could lose its U.S. funding.
Today, foreign laboratories receiving U.S. federal funds for animal research are not explicitly required to undergo quarterly inspections by a U.S.-designated authority for animal welfare. After this bill, foreign laboratories getting National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for animal research would face quarterly inspections to ensure they follow animal welfare rules. Labs that don't comply could lose their funding.
