The State Department plans to

Thousands of scientific
collaboration agreements between
the U.S. and foreign countries
are negotiated and overseen by
the office, including agreements
that allow U.S. researchers to
access international science
facilities such as CERN and
ITER. While some of these
agreements automatically renew,
others will lapse without
intervention, potentially
disrupting international
research collaborations and data
sharing agreements as well as
research facility access abroad.

Staff at the office were told in

effort</span></a> announced
by Secretary of State Marco
Rubio on April 22. A final
decision is expected later this
month and would take effect July
1. Unlike some other science
offices at the department that
are rumored to be facing
consolidation, such as the
Office of the Science and
Technology Advisor and the
Office of the Special Envoy for
Critical and Emerging
Technology, there are no
apparent plans to merge or
reorganize the cooperation
office into another unit. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
“There are grave concerns about
how the work will proceed,” said
a State Department employee who
requested anonymity to speak
freely about internal
discussions. “It is completely
unclear which office will take
on this work and how they would
have the bandwidth and authority
to do so.” </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
When senior department officials
told staff the cooperation
office was earmarked for
elimination, the news came as a
surprise, multiple sources told
FYI. The employee quoted above
described the decision as
“baffling,” given how much the
Trump administration claims to
support American leadership in
the technology space. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
“The president himself has
stressed the importance of
emerging technology, and some of
the foremost government experts
in fields like quantum and
biotech are part of the Office
of Science and Technology
Cooperation,” the employee said.
They added that the office is
the only part of the State
Department that works with all
federal science agencies to
“make sure that our approach to
international work is thorough
and covers the broad scope of
American science and tech
priorities.” </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
“To say that another office —
which is probably already
operating on a shoestring budget
— can simply take on the work is
laughable,” the employee said. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
The office has around 20 staff
members who are a mixture of
foreign service and civil
service officers, contractors,
and fellows, some with more than
a decade of experience. While
the foreign service officers may

Some staff members told FYI they
are already looking for new
employment but are hopeful that
the department might reverse
course. No staff contacted by
FYI have yet received written
notice of their termination. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
A State Department spokesperson
did not confirm whether the
office is in line for
elimination, stating simply that
the secretary of state has asked
the under secretaries to draw up
reorganization and workforce
optimization plans to be
reviewed this month. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
Science and technology
agreements set to expire over
the next 12-18 months include
ones with countries such as
Japan, Egypt, Oman, Indonesia,
Singapore, Pakistan, Tunisia,
and the UAE. Though some of
these will renew automatically,
the employee said the absence of
the office means the U.S. will
lose its ability to negotiate
changes and “ensure we have the
right protections for research
security, the best access to
data, and the best way forward
for advancing emerging
technology.” Some of the most
high-profile agreements that the
office oversees do not
auto-renew, including those with

among others. It is unclear what
will happen to these programs if
the office is eliminated. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
The cooperation office is “one
of those tiny supports upon
which the majority of major
international science projects
rest,” said Cole Donovan, a
former long-time employee of the
office, in a social media post
last week. In addition to U.S.
researchers potentially losing
access to international
facilities, Donovan warned that
the closure of the office could
potentially pause progress on
major science facilities under
construction in the U.S. if
agreements covering
international financial
contributions are not completed.

<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
Speaking to FYI, Donovan noted
that the Case-Zablocki Act
requires that federal agencies
consult with the State
Department before entering into
any international agreements
representing the United States.
All of the agreements that touch
on science, with the exception
of those related to space, come
through the cooperation office
for review. Science agreements
represent one of the largest
categories of international
agreements that the department
reviews, Donovan said, as so
many involve information sharing
or have to be checked to ensure
they protect American
intellectual property rights. </div>
<div align="left" width="100%" style="display:block;margin:24px 0 24px;padding:0;max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:16px;line-height:24px;color:#605F71;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
Asked about the potential
fallout of eliminating the
office, Donovan said he was
concerned that the loss of rapid
and routine approval for
international scientific
relationships could have
widespread implications that may
not be immediately obvious. The
U.S. has agreements with
international forecasting and
emergency management
organizations, for example,
which “if not maintained, could
damage the ability of scientists
to share timely emergency
information in response to
natural disasters,” he said. </div>

“I think the impact is probably
going to be much larger than
people expect, and not
necessarily in ways that people
might think about,” Donovan
added. </div>
