Updates & Corrections

  • Correction 17 September 2019: This story originally said that DOE had announced in January that its employees and grant recipients could not participate in foreign talent programmes. This was incorrect; the department issued guidance in January that suggested its employees and grant recipients could be barred from such programmes, but it has only finalized such a ban for employees and contractors.
