The INSPECT Act establishes three new independent Inspector General positions for major health agencies: the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration. These Inspectors General would conduct oversight, investigations, and audits of their respective agencies to ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and ethical standards. The President must appoint these officials within one year of the bill's enactment. The legislation requires no new federal funding, as it directs these positions to be staffed using existing budget allocations currently provided to the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General's office.
