Bill overview
The Hearts Act of 2025 aims to shift research priorities within the National Institutes of Health by prioritizing nonanimal methods whenever feasible and establishing a new National Center for Alternatives to Animals in Research and Testing. It mandates that research proposals actively seek and consider nonanimal alternatives, and requires the NIH to incentivize their use. The bill also creates a dedicated center to support the development and implementation of these alternatives, and requires federally funded research entities to report on animal usage and develop plans for reduction.
