在资金延迟发放之际，艾滋病毒研究网络面临不确定的未来。这些网络还开发其他传染病的治疗方法和预防措施，并在测试新冠疫苗方面发挥了关键作用。
H.I.V. Research Networks Face Uncertain Future Amid Funding Delays The networks also develop treatments and preventions for other infectious diseases and were instrumental in testing the Covid vaccine.
由于特朗普政府在启动续签资金流程方面拖延了数周，四个测试艾滋病毒、结核病和新发传染病疫苗及治疗方法的大型研究网络的未来处于悬而未决的状态。
The future of four large research networks that test vaccines and treatments for H.I.V., tuberculosis and emerging infectious diseases is in limbo after weeks of delays from the Trump administration in launching the process to renew their funding.
科学家们担心，这些延误可能预示着这些网络的终结，至少是以目前的形式终结。
Scientists are worried that the delays could foreshadow the end of the networks, at least in their current form.
周五，艾滋病毒研究人员接到国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）的通知，称他们应暂时搁置启动尚未招募参与者、且无法在当前资金到期日（2027年11月30日）之前完成的新研究，这让他们感到更加担忧。
H.I.V. researchers grew more concerned on Friday when they received word from the National Institutes of Health that they should temporarily hold off on launching new studies that had not yet enrolled participants and that would not be complete by Nov. 30, 2027, when their current funding is set to expire.
医疗研究经费的延迟在特朗普第二届政府期间已成为一个长期问题，这些网络的资金可能仍会得到续签。但一些科学家警告称，任何延误都可能危及临床试验参与者的安全，破坏紧迫的研究，并打乱人员配置和资源。
Delays to medical research spending have become a chronic issue during the second Trump administration, and funding for the networks may yet be renewed. But some scientists warned that any delays could jeopardize the safety of participants in clinical trials, derail time-sensitive studies and disrupt staffing and resources.
曾在国立卫生研究院领导传染病部门、后于2025年被免职的埃米利·埃贝尔丁（Emily Erbelding）博士表示：“仅失去资金就会导致巨大的势头损失。我不知道当权者如今是否理解这一点。”
“Just the loss of momentum that will happen when you don’t have funding is enormous,” said Dr. Emily Erbelding, who led an infectious disease division at the N.I.H. before she was ousted from the agency in 2025. “I don’t know whether the powers that be are understanding that these days,” she added.
美国卫生与公众服务部（Department of Health and Human Services）没有回答关于国立卫生研究院是否或何时会启动明年之后续签这些网络资金流程的问题。
The Department of Health and Human Services did not answer questions about whether or when the N.I.H. would kick off the process to renew the networks’ funding beyond next year.
