Secretary Kennedy(@SecKennedy):The federal government has a duty to protect the American people — not fund research that could put them at risk. Today, we are ending federal support for dangerous gain-of-function research and replacing weak oversight with clear, enforceable safeguards. This policy delivers on President Trump’s commitment to put safety first while ensuring America remains the global leader in ethical, responsible, and lifesaving biomedical research.

The release of the United States Government Policy for Stopping High-Risk Life Sciences Research fulfills President Trump’s commitment to ensure that federally supported life sciences research serves the interests of the American people. This policy stops dangerous gain-of-function research that has the potential to threaten lives, disrupt communities, strain public health systems, and undermine America’s economic and national security if not properly restricted and controlled.
