Securing Innovation and Research from Adversaries Act

This bill is known as the Securing Innovation and Research from Adversaries Act. It stops people and groups who receive Federal research money from using those funds to work with foreign entities or individuals listed on United States Government restricted entity lists. The bill allows the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to create government-wide guidance to make sure everyone follows the rules. Federal agency heads are allowed to grant waivers on a case-by-case basis if the waiver is necessary for national security or essential for a clearly defined scientific, public health, or national security purpose. If a federal agency head grants a waiver, they must submit a written notification to Congress within 30 days that includes the identity of the entity, the justification, and any mitigation measures. The bill also provides clear definitions for what counts as a research collaboration and outlines all the specific United States Government restricted entity lists that apply.
