Blocks federal research funds from going to projects with risky foreign groups.
This bill would stop federal money from being used for research projects that involve certain foreign groups or individuals identified as national security risks. It would affect researchers and organizations that get federal funding, as well as the government agencies that give out these funds. This bill would set up a new, clear rule for these types of research partnerships.
If this bill becomes law, federal funds could not be used for research partnerships with foreign groups or individuals on U.S. Government restricted lists. This would be a new government-wide rule. An exception could be made if a federal agency grants one for national security, scientific, or public health reasons.
