    The National Institutes of Health announced several closed meetings of their committees where they will review and evaluate grant applications. These meetings will take place from March 24 to April 4, 2025, and they are closed to the public to protect confidential information and personal privacy. They will be held virtually from the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. During these sessions, scientific review officers will oversee discussions that may include sensitive topics such as trade secrets or personal data related to grant applicants.

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is extending its test of using facial recognition technology to help airlines and ships meet passenger information regulations for two more years, now ending on February 16, 2027. This voluntary test allows participating carriers to use CBP's Traveler Verification Service (TVS) to compare travelers' facial images with images already on file, potentially speeding up passenger processing. Travelers can opt out if they do not want their photos taken, requiring the carriers to verify their identities manually. The test aims to improve accuracy and efficiency in verifying traveler identities while maintaining privacy and data protection standards.
