Trump Administration Ends Program Critical to Search for an H.I.V. Vaccine

The Trump administration ended a $258 million HIV vaccine research program critical to global efforts on May 30, 2025.
This decision followed a National Institutes of Health review that withdrew support for key programs at Duke and Scripps Research.
The cut affected broadly neutralizing antibody research and paused Moderna's clinical HIV vaccine trials, delaying vaccine development.
Experts like Mitchell Warren called the move an 'intentional unraveling of America’s legacy in global health,' warning of lasting consequences.
This funding removal threatens decades of progress and could impede efforts to end the HIV pandemic without a vaccine.
