APHA @apha.org · 13/07/2026

Today is the last day to tell OMB not to put politics over science and public health.

White text in a navy blue box says, "In early 2025, the Trump administration abruptly canceled NIH grants for research that did not align with its policies. Studies on vaccine hesitancy, LGBTQIA+ health, Black maternal mortality and more were defunded, leaving many researchers unemployed." Beneath the box is a photo by Geoff Livingston of a protest around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool where people are holding signs. The sign in front says, "Explain how gutting the NIH makes America great."

White text on a blue background says, "APHA and other organizations fought back, suing the NIH. Now, the administration is looking to circumvent the courts by fundamentally changing the grant process through the Office of Management and Budget." Beneath that is black text over an image of a ripped piece of paper that says, “In spring 2025, the American Civil Liberties Union joined the American Public Health Association and a union representing many postdocs in suing the NIH, arguing the terminations were arbitrary and capricious — issued, as Sosa put it, without legal basis. Courts agreed in early rounds, and grants began to be restored.” Medscape, June 29, 2026. That is a quote from this article: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/science-interrupted-lasting-impact-terminated-grants-2026a1000m1l?form=fpf

White and yellow text on a black background says, "OMB’s proposal would: Authorize political appointees to award federal grants based on political ideology instead of scientists and policy experts awarding grants based on evidence-based research; Allow those appointees to cancel, suspend or modify grants at any time and for any reason; Block federal funding for implementing programs that include DEIA, “gender ideology,” and international collaboration; Restrict the use of grant funds for professional development like attending conferences"

What followed was a crisis of neglect — stigma, political indifference, and a research establishment that moved too slowly while lives hung in the balance. The history of HIV isn't just about scientific discovery. It's about people demanding that research and discovery serve everyone.
