In case you missed out on last Friday night (as in 4/3), here are some flicks of UAEM's Friday night kickoff for the 2026 conference: People Before Profit: Advancing an Equitable Healthcare Future. There was incredible food, fun activities, an alumni panel, and amazing convos!

[UAEM @uaem]

The biggest event of our conference: Global Access to Lenacapavir featuring Wesley Sundquist, PhD, University of Utah; Saba Sadat, PA-C, AIDS Healthcare Foundation; and Peter Maybarduk, JD, Public Citizen. You may attend this event without attending the entire conference.

Last chance to present at our North American Conference -- submit your abstracts by tomorrow 11:59PM! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our Instagram DM.

TLDR; We sent out a survey to universities' technology transfer groups to gauge their commitment to equitable and accessible research practices. Send an email urging them to fill it out so that we can hold them accountable! SEE LINK IN BIO FOR A PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL.

There's never been a better time to present your research to a national audience. Make 2016 your year!

With NIH funding cuts, many researchers were cut from their role, unable to continue their work as projects terminated from lack of funding. Read more to learn about a small portion of life-saving knowledge that we lost because of it.

[UAEM @uaem]

Impacts of the NIH funding cuts are real.
Today, the government funding package for 2026 will be on the floor vote in the House, and it is imperative that the NIH retains its proposed funding increase. Contact your representative now to express your support for NIH funding.

On December 9, 2025, UAEM's Canadian Access Team submitted a policy brief to the House of Commons Standing Committee that urges the Canadian government to strengthen the government’s
commitment to funding biomedical R&D that addresses public health
needs.

Last month, Trump made a deal with 9 more pharmaceutical companies in an effort to lower drug prices. Read more to learn more about its implications and whether this has been helpful or not.

Research funding cuts continue to cause serious repercussions for countless research projects. For example, read about how this AIDS study was delayed due to the new regulations. Swipe to the last slide to read about how you can make a difference and fight back.

#tbt to literally one month ago when we held Access to Medicines Week
Look at all these students who participated in the Artivism Project, where they drew what Access to Medicnes meant to them, and why we need to #SaveOurScience.

[UAEM @uaem]

USMCA trade agreements must be revised to remove extreme intellectual property provisions that keep medicine prices high, discourage competition, and impede access to medicine. @public_citizen, @SSworks, @HealthGAP, @CWAUnion, @MSF_USA, @NationalNurses, @NETWORKLobby, @PHMglobal

December 1 is World AIDS Day. Today we commemorate the movement to spread awareness of AIDS caused by the HIV infection and to remember those who have passed from the disease. But the fight is not over. Millions still lack access to HIV/AIDS treatment.

[UAEM @uaem]

We had a great time with Access 2 Medicines Week last week. Here are some highlights, from a round-table with researchers, to university chapters hosting their own events.
