Congress needs to hear from you: NIH's 4 major HIV/infectious disease research networks are in limbo. The overdue funding notices still haven't been released, and researchers can't apply without them. Tell your reps to press HHS to act now 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/acti...

Lost funding would: • Pull participants from trials midway • Dismantle infrastructure built over decades • Put jobs at risk in every state • Waste billions in taxpayer dollars • Stall breakthroughs beyond HIV, including cancer and COVID-19

HIV research has always moved forward because communities, scientists, and advocates championed it. Add your voice: tell your elected officials to demand release of the overdue NOFOs.

NIH said the NOFOs would post by Aug 25, 2026. They haven't, and the application deadline is still Jan 22, 2027. Meanwhile, networks were told to "pause" new studies that can't finish by Nov 30, 2027, when current funding ends.
