S 2716 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Accountability in Foreign Animal Research Act

This bill prohibits U.S. federal funding for research involving animal testing conducted in specific foreign countries. It directly affects Health and Human Services (HHS) funding decisions and researchers or institutions receiving HHS grants who conduct such research in China (including Hong Kong), Iran, North Korea, or Russia. The bill requires HHS to stop all direct or indirect funding for animal research in facilities owned by these countries or entities based there, and mandates a 60-day report to Congress explaining any future additions to the restricted list. The policy change is a concrete funding restriction, not a procedural measure.
