More than 500 federally funded scientists are under investigation for being compromised by China and other foreign powers, the National Institutes of Health revealed Thursday.
The federal health officials told a Senate committee that they are fighting to keep up with large-scale Chinese efforts to corrupt American researchers and steal intellectual property that scientists hope will lead to biomedical advances.
NIH has contacted more than 90 institutions about more than 200 scientists theyre concerned about, said Dr. Michael S. Lauer, NIH deputy director for extramural research. But the investigations workload is weighing down the nations top medical research agency, and new cases are turning up constantly across the government.

Hardly news or interesting. Scientific institutions have long been compromised by self-serving interests both foreign and domestic.
