Federal research funding is at risk for Emory University if it fails to comply with a required audit. The Department of Defense has ordered the university to examine its collaborations with certain foreign entities. This effort aims to prevent partnerships that could pose a threat to national security.

The audit requires a thorough review of foreign collaborations and the implementation of plans to mitigate potential risks. Schools must also report their findings and any actions taken to address concerns.

Further information on the audit and its requirements can be found through the Department of Defense's press release.
