At @NIH, we’re working to innovate biotechnology without compromising our Nation’s security.

This new national policy for nucleic acid synthesis screening is another important step toward safer, more secure biomedical research.
Today, we released the National Policy for Nucleic Acid Synthesis Screening to protect American biotechnology innovation while reducing the risk of misuse.

This policy establishes a new, government-wide screening requirements for synthetic DNA and the equipment used to make it. s selling nucleic acid sequences and synthesis equipment know their customers and prevent the malicious use of these materials and tools.

This policy strengthens our Nation’s biosecurity posture by establishing rigorous U.S. government-wide procurement screening and physical security standards for synthetic biology. It replaces outdated “self-attestation” systems with robust, independent verification. It creates a dynamic, SI-powered screening layer that assesses the biological risk from nucleic acid sequences, allowing the U.S. to anticipate and prevent malicious use and help stop dangerous gain-of-function research.

@NIST will issue rigorous new screening standards and @HHSGov and @USDA will certify synthetic biology providers. Together, these measures will strengthen American biosecurity, safeguard responsible innovation, and establish a global standard for safe and transparent synthetic biology tools and research.

More than 60 million Americans call rural communities home.

Thanks to President Trump’s historic commitment to rural America, the Rural Health Transformation Program is making a real difference in how they receive care — and we’re not simply paying bills, we’re changing the ns, states are building on their first-year work to strengthen rural healthcare and make sure it’s delivering the right care for the people who need it.

The goal: End the rural mortality penalty and build better healthcare for all Americans.

Medicaid dollars should go toward caring for vulnerable Americans, not lining the pockets of fraudsters.

Under @POTUS and @SecKennedy’s leadership, HHS is cracking down on fraud, waste, and abuse, protecting taxpayer dollars, and ensuring Medicaid serves those who truly need it.

America's healthcare system should reward keeping people healthy, not just treating them when they're sick. Under @POTUS' leadership, HHS and @CMSGov are modernizing Medicare to put patients first.

âś… Prioritizing prevention and primary care
âś… Expanding access to preventive n on duplicate billing and waste
âś… Lowering out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients

Under President Trump’s leadership, the Administration is establishing new government-wide standards to prevent the misuse of synthetic DNA and other biotechnology tools.

Working with @NIST and @USDA, HHS will help ensure synthetic biology suppliers meet rigorous, independently verified screening standards — safeguarding scientific innovation while reducing the risk of dangerous biological research.

When @ACF_Adams looks back on his time leading ACF, he hopes to see three lasting changes.

âś… A home for every child, with foster homes ready and waiting for kids who need them.
âś… An end to the orphan tax so foster youth can keep their Social Security survivor benefits.
âś… Less ources can reach the front lines.
