What it does
The PHARA Act of 2025 would require the National Institutes of Health to release and expend all funding for existing grant agreements, pay pending reimbursement requests, and prohibit cancellation of agreements for active and ongoing research. It would also mandate that future NIH grant agreements include termination clauses allowing termination only for material breach, changed circumstances, or mutual agreement, with 90-day notice and an attempt to amend terms first. Finally, the bill would bar NIH from terminating grants solely because they no longer align with program goals or agency priorities and require regulatory updates to enforce this prohibition.
