National Programmable Cloud Laboratories Network Act of 2025

This bill establishes a National Programmable Cloud Laboratories Network, designating up to six "nodes" at eligible institutions (universities, nonprofits, or private companies) by 2026. These nodes must offer remote, AI-assisted lab access for research, require private-sector cost-sharing, and develop sustainable funding models to reduce long-term federal reliance. The network aims to accelerate scientific innovation in fields like biotechnology and materials science by standardizing remote experimentation, improving collaboration, and ensuring cybersecurity. It mandates annual congressional reporting and expires on September 30, 2031.
