What it does
The CARGO Act of 2025 would prohibit the National Institutes of Health from awarding any grants, contracts, or other support for research involving live animals unless the research is conducted within the United States, including its territories and the District of Columbia. The bill amends the Public Health Service Act to enforce this restriction, citing concerns about inadequate oversight and potential animal welfare violations in foreign-funded research. It affects NIH-funded researchers and institutions seeking to conduct animal-based studies abroad, effectively ending U.S. federal support for such work outside U.S. jurisdiction.
