Protects U.S. research and innovation from foreign adversaries through security measures.
The problem
Foreign adversaries may steal American research, technology secrets, and innovations that cost billions to develop. This threatens national security and economic competitiveness.
The proposal
Establishes security controls on research funding, foreign partnerships, and technology access. Requires screening of foreign involvement in sensitive research projects.
The impact
Affects researchers, universities, companies doing advanced work, and international collaborators. May increase oversight and change how American science operates globally.
Prevents hostile countries from accessing military, defense, and critical technology research. Keeps American innovations from being used against the country.
Protects America's lead in science and technology. Prevents spending billions on research that competitors get for free.
Government funding for research should benefit Americans. Prevents taxpayer money from indirectly helping foreign adversaries.
Creates systems to spot foreign attempts to steal research. Catches security problems before damage occurs.
Extra security checks and approvals take time and money. Scientists spend less time researching and more time on paperwork.
Scientists worldwide work together to solve big problems. Restrictions may push foreign researchers to work elsewhere or discourage partnerships.
Screening might unfairly suspect foreign students or researchers based on nationality alone. Could create discrimination in universities and labs.
New government agencies or staff needed to review all sensitive research. Costs money that could go to actual research instead.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
