          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No Contracts with Foreign Adversaries Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill prohibits institutions of higher education (IHEs) from entering into contracts with a foreign country of concern (e.g., North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran) or with a foreign entity of concern (e.g., a foreign entity that is owned or controlled by North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran) without obtaining a waiver.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill outlines the process by which an IHE may receive a waiver from the Department of Education (ED) to enter into a contract with a foreign country of concern or with a foreign entity of concern. Specifically, an&amp;nbsp;IHE that desires to enter into such a contract may submit to ED, not later than 120 days before the&amp;nbsp;IHE enters into such a contract, a request to waive the prohibition with respect to the contract. Generally, a waiver issued under this bill shall only waive the prohibition for a one-year period (subject to renewals). Additionally, the bill requires ED to notify Congress of the intent to issue a waiver, including a justification for the waiver.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill also requires an IHE that has already entered into a contract prior to the bill's enactment to submit a waiver request to ED within 30 days of the bill's enactment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill requires ED to investigate possible violations of this bill and outlines the various penalties for each violation. Penalties may include losing eligibility for federal student financial aid.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
