Abolish the Fogarty International Center Act of 2025

This legislation would abolish the John E. Fogarty International Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences, which is one of the 27 institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Currently, the Fogarty International Center is responsible for supporting global health research and training programs that involve collaborations between U.S. scientists and researchers in other countries. It focuses on addressing health challenges that cross international borders, such as infectious diseases and chronic health conditions.

If enacted, the bill would end the center's specific operations and funding. This could impact how the federal government coordinates international medical research and how it manages partnerships with foreign health organizations. Because the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been reviewed by a committee, it is not currently law and its future remains uncertain.
