Accountability in Foreign Animal Research Act

# Accountability in Foreign Animal Research Act (HR 3043) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would establish oversight and accountability measures for animal research conducted outside the United States using U.S. federal funding. While the bill's specific details aren't publicly detailed yet (it's still in committee), the title suggests it aims to ensure that taxpayer-funded research involving animals—whether conducted abroad or domestically—meets certain standards and is subject to government accountability. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact research institutions, universities, and private companies that receive federal grants for animal research projects conducted in foreign countries. It could also affect the federal agencies that distribute these research funds, as well as animal welfare advocates and the broader scientific research community. **Current Status** HR 3043 is currently in committee, meaning it's in the early legislative process and hasn't yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.

It was introduced by Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) in the 119th Congress. *Note: As this bill is still in committee with limited public details available, the summary focuses on what the title suggests. For complete provisions and impacts, consult Congress.gov or the bill's text once more detailed information becomes available.*.
