- Stanford University has agreed to pay $1.9 million to settle allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by not disclosing current and pending support from foreign sources in research grant proposals submitted to federal agencies.
- The settlement covers research grants received by Stanford between 2015 and 2020 from the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, NASA, and the National Science Foundation (NSF). These agencies require grant applicants to disclose all sources of current and pending support, including foreign government sources.
- The U.S. alleged that Stanford knowingly failed to disclose current and pending foreign funding on 16 grant proposals, involving 11 principal investigators (PIs) and co-PIs. Additionally, Stanford did not disclose that one of its professors received research funding from China’s Fudan University, a foreign public university, and a foreign government’s national science foundation.
