Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR):Impact Grant for exploration in HIV persistence and eradication

amfAR plans to issue a Request for Proposals to solicit research proposals relevant to exploring the mechanisms for HIV persistence and the potential for HIV eradication. Implementing new Impact Grants, they support the in-depth development of concepts where preliminary data have indicated genuine promise in curing HIV. Impact Grants are conducted over a four-year funding period with up to $2,000,000 in total funding (including up to 20% indirect costs) and should include in vitro, animal and clinical (in vivo or ex vivo) testing. Impact Grants aim to directly inform efforts to safely eliminate or control persistent viral reservoirs in HIV-infected people. Priority will be given to projects with a clear pathway to development of an implementable intervention in humans.
