Foreign Research Transparency: Ensuring Full Access to Scientific Data.
This law increases oversight of federal health research grants, especially when foreign entities are involved in the projects. It requires US institutions receiving funds to have full access to all data, notes, and reports generated by foreign partners. This aims to protect the integrity of taxpayer-funded research and ensure critical scientific information remains accessible.
Key points
Mandates full access to raw data and notes for US institutions collaborating with foreign partners on federal research grants (biomedical and behavioral).
Institutions failing to ensure this access face penalties, including loss of funding, federal system blocks, and the requirement to return all grant money.
