Scientific research cooperation between Cuba and the USA has a long history that dates back to the 19th century. For the past 200 years, the two countries' relationship has been subject to complex economic, political and social forces. In the second half of the 20th century, the Cuban revolution and the subsequent escalation of the US government embargo impacted every aspect of Cuban life. While science was no exception, scientific interactions never ceased. Over the past decade, scientific cooperation-led and facilitated by scientific organizations such as the Cuban Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and others-has steadily increased to address ever more critical issues facing both countries. Science and global health diplomacy were key to reestablishing a trusting and productive relationship of mutual and global benefit after the USA and Cuba restored diplomatic relations in 2015. However, recent changes in Cuba policy by the new US administration are jeopardizing these opportunities for increased scientific cooperation, which are in the best interests of people in both countries.

古巴和美国之间的科学研究合作历史悠久，可以追溯到 19 世纪。在过去的 200 年里，两国的关系受到复杂的经济、政治和社会力量的影响。在 20 世纪下半叶，古巴革命和随后美国政府的禁运对古巴生活的方方面面都产生了影响。虽然科学也不例外，但科学交流从未停止。在过去的十年里，由古巴科学院、美国科学促进会等科学组织牵头和推动的科学合作稳步增加，以解决两国面临的日益严峻的问题。科学和全球卫生外交是在 2015 年美国和古巴恢复外交关系后，重新建立互信和富有成效的关系、实现共同和全球利益的关键。然而，美国新政府最近对古巴政策的改变，危及了增加科学合作的机会，而这符合两国人民的最大利益。
