Creates a 12-year pilot program to build and operate a national cloud laboratory network that coordinates public and private cloud labs, expands researcher access to high-quality biological data and laboratory instrumentation, and funds eligible cloud laboratory projects through competitive grants. The Act also defines key terms (AI, biological data, cloud laboratories, authorized researchers, Phase II/III labs), requires an implementation plan and advisory board, and mandates annual progress reporting plus safeguards for data access, cybersecurity, biosecurity, equitable access, and intellectual property.
