Bill overview
This bill, the CARGO Act of 2025, aims to prevent the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from funding animal research conducted overseas. It restricts NIH grants to only projects using live animals that take place within the United States. The bill is driven by concerns about the lack of oversight and potential mistreatment of animals in research funded by the NIH but performed outside the country. It seeks to ensure that American taxpayer dollars are used to support animal research conducted under stricter welfare standards.
