- On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an order that halts all federal funding for gain-of-function research conducted overseas without adequate oversight, including projects in countries such as China and Iran.
- The order comes amid concerns that U.S. Taxpayer money funded high-risk research on bat coronaviruses at a laboratory in Wuhan prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The White House stated the order aims to improve biosecurity by pausing current research, empowering agencies to identify dangerous studies, and ensuring stronger enforcement and transparency.
- The order will suspend funding for all existing and upcoming gain-of-function research without adequate oversight and authorizes the NIH and other agencies to oversee and safeguard public health and national security.
- This measure intends to reduce lab-related biosecurity risks, addressing debates over SARS-CoV-2 origins and aiming to prevent future pandemics linked to such experiments.
