I have looked in USASpending as many ways as I can think of for the record about the CDC grant supporting the Guinea-Bissau vaccine trial.
I searched the name of the sponsoring organization, Bandim.
I searched the location of Guineau-Bissau (and for that matter Denmark).
I looked through all CDC FY2026 grants and contracts between 1.5 million and 1.7 million, because NPR said the grant was 1.6.
I searched for the name of the PI in USASpending and in ClinicalTrials.gov. Some records came up in the latter, but not the hep B trial.

I looked through the ICTRP registrations associated with the sponsor -- nothing recent about hep B.

Surely there must be a clinical trial registration and a record of the grant?

actually maybe not, I am reading the letter the researchers wrote to The Guardian after a news story about it. The letter is not dated but it must have been after December 19, when the news story ran.
It says "none of the commentators [who criticized the study in the Guardian article] had read the protocol, which has yet to be registered"

And the protocol was leaked to Inside Medicine, apparently near/on Jan 15. People wouldn't care about reading a leaked protocol if a trial registration with protocol were available publicly.

OK, here is the announcement of the grant in the Federal Register
