H.R. 4465 · 117th Congress
Federally Funded Research and Technology Development Protection Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Jul 16, 2021
Federally Funded Research and Technology Development Protection Act
This bill addresses issues of transparency and accountability in federal grant-making to safeguard federally funded research and technology development.
Specifically, the Office of Management and Budget must (1) require that any agency that makes a federal grant maintains compliance operations to guard against malign foreign talent recruitment programs, and (2) prescribe standardized disclosure and accountability measures to support such operations.
Malign foreign talent recruitment is defined as an effort organized, managed, or funded by a foreign government to recruit any individual or public or private entity engaged in research funded by a federal agency to share information with, or otherwise act on behalf of, such government.
