Bill Summary
A BILL To abolish the John E. Fogarty International Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to abolish the John E. Fogarty International Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences, which is a research center within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The legislation, which would be known as the "Abolish the Fogarty International Center Act of 2025" if passed, directly eliminates the center without providing details about the disposition of its current programs, staff, or ongoing research initiatives. The Fogarty International Center, named after Congressman John E. Fogarty, has historically focused on global health research and supporting international scientific collaborations, particularly in low and middle-income countries. By completely abolishing the center, the bill would effectively terminate its operations and mission, potentially disrupting ongoing global health research and training programs that the center has traditionally supported.
