        <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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;Research grant funding is for a
          one-year period beginning February 1, 2013.</div>
