Ends U.S. funding for animal research projects happening outside the United States.
This bill would stop the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from giving money to research that uses live animals if that research is done outside the U.S. This change would affect foreign organizations that currently get NIH funding for such research. It aims to address concerns about animal welfare in these overseas projects.
Today, the National Institutes of Health gives money to foreign organizations for research using live animals, relying on their own reports about animal welfare. From 2011 to 2021, this amounted to about $2.2 billion. If this bill becomes law, the National Institutes of Health would stop all funding for any activity or program that uses live animals in research unless that research happens within the United States or its territories.
