Inside ASTMH

ASTMH thanks the leaders and members of the United States House and Senate for their strong bipartisan support of federal agencies and programs that advance biomedical research, public health, and global health as Congress works to finalize the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 appropriations process. We will provide ASTMH members with a more detailed readout of recent policy and appropriations developments early next week.

As we step into a new year, it’s worth pausing to reflect on everything we accomplished together in 2025. It was a year of myriad challenges and disruptions, but also breakthroughs and milestones, that reinforced the strength and resilience of our global health community.

With support from GSK, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Virtual Professional Development Learning Series created to empower early-career scientists, clinicians and public health professionals around the world—especially those working in and from disease-endemic regions. Photo courtesy Vecteezy.

The Society mourns the loss of Carlton Evans PhD, DTM&H, FRCP, who served on the Scientific Program Committee in 2024 and was a director for the ASTMH-approved Diploma Course.
