Summary
The bill directs the National Science Foundation, in consultation with the Department of Energy and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, to establish a pilot cloud laboratory network that catalogs biotechnology capabilities at participating facilities and helps researchers connect to them. Cloud laboratories are remotely programmable physical labs with robotics, and the bill requires funded labs to generate biological data for training artificial intelligence and analysis models and to provide researchers access to experimental instrumentation. The bill also requires an implementation plan covering data storage, access and payment models, intellectual property, and cybersecurity, creates an advisory board, and authorizes competitive grant awards for at least two Phase II and three Phase III cloud laboratories, subject to appropriations.
