Bill overview
The Supporting Innovative Global Health Technologies Act (SIGHT Act) aims to strengthen the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) role in developing and deploying health technologies for low-resource settings. It establishes a Chief Innovation Officer within USAID to focus on global health research and development, encourages coordination with other government agencies and private sector partners, and creates a grant program to support the development of new health technologies. The bill also seeks to increase funding for this work and improve reporting on its progress.
