Increased Transparency of Foreign Gifts to Universities and Research Protection.
New rules enhance oversight of foreign funding for U.S. universities, especially from entities linked to adversarial governments. This aims to protect sensitive research and technology, ensuring citizens have a clearer picture of foreign influence in education. Universities will need to disclose more information about foreign gifts and contracts.
Key points
Universities must report foreign gifts and contracts more frequently and in detail, especially from adversarial governments, regardless of value.
Information on foreign gifts and contracts will be publicly available on university and Department of Education websites.
New rules for foreign involvement in sensitive research projects require disclosure of the individual's home country and a commitment not to disclose information.
