This week brought major developments for global health: new tariffs on pharmaceuticals are pending, a court blocks the cap on NIH indirect costs, and worries a leadership vacuum at the CDC is a cause for yet more concern. Amid the chaos, advocates rallied—defending PEPFAR’s legacy in Congress and launching a national Black-centered, Black-led HIV research agenda.

Just two months ago, AVAC led other organizations to sue the US government including the President, the US State Department and USAID, seeking emergency relief from an Executive Order that inhumanely froze all funding for foreign assistance. This case may well help to determine the future of foreign assistance, executive overreach, and the role of evidence, facts, and values in US policy.

This week we’ve seen plans to terminate thousands more USAID awards and completely overhaul the US Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the National Institutes of Health, the CDC and the FDA. This comes as US funding for vital scientific research in South Africa faces new threats and the future of PEPFAR remains uncertain, with its reauthorization expiring this week amid shifting priorities and budget cuts.
The promise of HIV prevention is just as real as it was before the new administration took office. Only now we must find a new path. To stay on track will require trust, innovation, commitment and investment. Let’s do it.
As the global research community confronts drastic cuts and extraordinary opposition to its work by the US government, the world cannot lose focus on the critical need for high-quality, impactful clinical research.
This newsletter examines the proposed elimination of the US CDC’s HIV prevention program, the uncertain future of foreign assistance globally, lawsuits against the aid freeze, plans to dismantle USAID, while exploring NIH grants in South Africa and the mounting repercussions on communities.
PEPFAR and its lifesaving services have been threatened by the new US administration’s executive order freezing all foreign aid funding. While some PEPFAR programs received waivers to restart some services, many of its activities continue to be suspended indefinitely.
This week’s issue covers the latest developments in the AVAC vs. Department of State lawsuit, NIH’s termination of vaccine hesitancy research, new data revealing the deadly impact of foreign aid cuts on HIV, and renewed calls for African-led, sustainable health funding.
