A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee will conduct a study of Confucius Institutes in the U.S. and the potential risks they may pose to academic institutions, especially in openness, research integrity, and the free flow of talent and ideas. The committee will identify best practices and principles regarding appropriate operations for U.S. academic institutions that the Department of Defense could use regarding waivers to the prohibition of research support at institutions that host Confucius Institutes. The committee will also explore characteristics and features of these and similar foreign-funded programs that could serve as flags for academic partnerships.
