What this bill does
H.R. 4076, the United States-Israel Health Technologies Cooperation Act, would authorize funding for a joint program between the United States and Israel focused on developing health technologies. Specifically, it allows for $4 million annually for fiscal years 2024 through 2026 to be appropriated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This funding would be used for grants to advance health technologies, with a focus on using technology, personalized medicine, and data to address emerging infectious diseases. Examples of technologies include artificial intelligence, drugs, vaccinations, respiratory devices, diagnostic tests, and telemedicine.
This program would affect entities involved in health technology development in both countries. A key provision is that any funding under this act requires a matching contribution from the Israeli government. The bill also outlines that the program could either build upon an existing bilateral program or establish a new one in consultation with the Secretary of State, potentially under a previous science and technology cooperation agreement.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on June 13, 2023, and currently has the status of "Introduced." It was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. In a previous session of Congress, a similar bill was introduced but did not receive a vote. For H.R. 4076 to advance, it would need to be considered and potentially passed by the House committee, then by the full House, and subsequently go through the Senate legislative process.
