Brief Executive Summary
The Seante Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations conducted an investigation into China's alleged exploration of American research and expertise through Chinese talent recruitment plans. The Subcommittee reviewed seven federal agencies' efforts to mitigate the threat that Chinese talent recruitment plans pose to U.S.-funded research. Among other findings of fact, the Subcommittee found that Federal grant-making agencies lack standards and coordination, and China aggressively recruits overseas researchers and scientists.
