The National Institutes of Health has no system in place to track which federal facilities are receiving taxpayer dollars.
A Freedom of Information Act request obtained by the Washington Free Beacon revealed that the health agency, which has a budget of over $30 billion, does not keep track of government agencies that receive funding.
White Coat Waste, a nonprofit organization that conducts oversight over the NIH’s animal research spending, requested a list of federal facilities that currently have approval to experiment on animals.
