Overview

• ISGAP estimates more than $20 billion flowed through the Qatar Foundation into U.S. institutions, citing $10 billion linked to Cornell and $1.3 billion to Texas A&M.
• Cornell says funding tied to Weill Cornell Medicine–Qatar averaged about $156 million a year from 2012 to 2025, totaling $2.2 billion that largely remains in Qatar for the campus’s operations.
• Texas A&M confirmed a contract giving the Qatar Foundation specified intellectual property and revenue rights for research at its Doha campus, while stating no nuclear, weapons, or national‑security research occurs there.
• The university has begun shutting down its Qatar campus, saying its mission should be focused on Texas and the United States.
• ISGAP urges federal scrutiny and terrorist designation of the Muslim Brotherhood, while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a state designation for the Brotherhood and CAIR and the group asked the Department of Energy to review alleged dual‑use research.
