CLAWS Act of 2024

This bill requires U.S. federal agencies to annually report detailed information about biomedical research projects funded with federal money and conducted in China or involving Chinese entities. It directly affects agencies like the NIH and research institutions receiving U.S. grants for projects such as disease research, drug testing, or vaccine development in China. The report must include specifics like project purpose, locations (including military or intelligence ties), security measures, costs, and whether the work involves pathogens or dual-use research. Agencies must submit these reports within one year of the bill's enactment, creating a standardized system for tracking federally funded biomedical research in China.
