Ban on Funding Animal Research Outside the U.S.
This new bill aims to stop the U.S. government from funding research on live animals conducted outside the United States. This means taxpayer money will only be used for research performed domestically, intending to increase oversight of animal welfare and ensure funds are spent according to U.S. standards.
Key points
U.S. taxpayer money will no longer support animal research conducted outside the U.S.
All live animal research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) must occur within the United States.
The goal is to improve oversight of animal welfare and ensure transparency in public spending.
