When federal grants are abruptly terminated, the effects cascade through the network of researchers, scientists, & practitioners. But the impact can be far more devastating for trial participants, who have consented to volunteer & risk their lives. A terminated trial can’t easily be replaced.

Somewhere in a sweltering desert, cockroaches scurry around the cell of Carlitos Ricardo Parias. He holds up a plastic bottle, gazing at the worm-like creatures swimming in his water. His other arm is turning purple from a gunshot wound for which he says he hasn’t received proper medical care.
