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.

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.

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.

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.

procedures:
