Prohibits the National Institutes of Health from providing support for any research that uses live animals unless the research is carried out within the United States (including U.S. territories and possessions). The restriction applies to all forms of NIH support: grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, and technical assistance. The bill is aimed at closing what it describes as a gap in oversight of animal welfare for NIH-funded research conducted outside the U.S.
