This bill prohibits Federal funding for any research center or laboratory where nationals of designated "countries of concern" conduct agricultural research . The legislation explicitly defines "countries of concern" to include the Republic of Cuba, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau), the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. This measure aims to prevent federal resources from supporting agricultural research involving individuals from these specific nations. The prohibition applies broadly to any research center or laboratory receiving federal funds. By restricting funding, the bill seeks to limit potential foreign influence or risks in sensitive agricultural research areas.
