<div>amfAR, the Foundation for Aids Research, has announced the
availability of targeted support for biomedical research
projects relevant to exploring mechanisms for HIV persistence
and the potential for HIV eradication.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Understanding the mechanisms by which the virus is able to
persist in the face of therapy is necessary in order to
identify strategies that may interrupt viral persistence and
ultimately lead to viral eradication. amfAR wishes to support
basic, pre-clinical, clinical, and especially translational
research exploring the mechanisms whereby HIV infection
persists; the chronic nature of viral reservoirs and latency;
and barriers to the eradication of HIV, with the potential
goal of ultimately eliminating HIV infection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Principal investigators must hold a doctoral degree and be
affiliated with a nonprofit research institution. It is not
required that principal investigators hold a faculty-level
position.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Only proposals for individual research projects are
solicited. Funding is available for research grants of up to
$180,000 in total costs including indirect costs of up to 20
percent of direct costs. Research grant funding is for a
one-year period beginning February 1, 2013.</div>
