OMB Moves The Wolf Amendment Government-Wide: §200.220's Covered-Foreign-Countries Ban And §200.202(e)'s Foreign Entity R&D Approval Requirement Restructure University International Research

The May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 extends what has been a NASA-specific restriction since 2011 to every federal grant-making agency. Proposed §200.220 prohibits use of federal funds for collaboration with entities in or controlled by a 'covered foreign country' — currently the People's Republic of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

Together they reshape university international research operations more comprehensively than any policy change since the 2018 China Initiative. Comment deadline July 13.
