Concerns Regarding International Activities
Review recent announcements by NASA regarding undue foreign influence at U.S. institutions:
- Since 2011, NASA has been prohibited from providing funding to participate, collaborate or coordinate bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company. NASA has defined “China or Chinese-owned company” to mean the People’s Republic of China (PRC), any company owned by the PRC, or any company incorporated under that laws of the PRC, including Chinese universities and research institutions. (Public Law 112-55)
- In 2012, NASA published Grant Information Circular 12-01A implementing restrictions on funding activities with the People’s Republic of China.
