This third installment of our ‘One Year Later’ series examines this administration’s sustained assault on the research enterprise. What has unfolded is a 365-day cascade of policy, programmatic and, financial actions that threaten US leadership and the scientific ecosystem responsible for lifesaving breakthroughs.
The second piece in AVAC’s ‘One Year Later’ series is out. From cuts to HIV vaccine research to attacks on ACIP and Gavi, we break down how ideology is undermining evidence and why global health depends on defending science.
AVAC’s ‘One Year Later’ series reflects on the tumultuous events of the past 365 days across five global health issues. First up: how the foreign aid freeze and abuse of executive power are costing lives.
The US foreign assistance budget, if enacted, would restore some global health funds in a broader context of uncertainty, as US bilateral “America First” health MoUs advance without transparent plans for implementation or accountability. At the same time, abrupt reversals by the US Department of Health and Human Services of troubling health policy decisions underscore the Administration’s instability. Meanwhile, momentum around lenacapavir continues, recently approved by Brazil and with additional funding from Unitaid to reach more populations in South Africa and Zambia.
On January 20, join us and Jeanne Marrazzo, IDSA CEO and AVAC board member, for The Future of HIV Prevention: A People’s Research Agenda for Speed, Scale and Equity, a webinar exploring the PRA’s people-centered framework, what the PRA tracks, why it matters and what’s at stake.
The assault on vaccine policy and confidence intensified this week as the US overhauled its childhood immunization schedule. Beyond the US, 14 countries have now signed bilateral health agreements with the US under the America First Global Health Strategy. At the same time, the US President signed a new executive order withdrawing the US from and defunding over 60 international organizations and treaties. And Germany reportedly plans to cut its funding by half for the World Health Organization’s Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence.
As we look to the year ahead, we start by taking stock of the profound disruptions of 2025 and how the field responded. With immense challenges and historic opportunities ahead, we are making resolutions for the new year and sharing resources to advance our collective work in the months to come.
