Abstract
This PE funds the Military Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Research Program and the Combatting Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria (CARB) projects. The goal of the Military HIV Research Program is to refine identification methods for determining genetic diversity of the virus, to conduct preclinical work in laboratory animals including non-human primates to identify candidates for global HIV-1 vaccine, and to evaluate and prepare overseas sites for clinical trials with these vaccine candidates. For the CARB program, funding provides for the development of strategies to prevent, mitigate, and treat antibiotic resistant bacteria in wounds through the CARB - Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) Discovery and Wound Program. In FY21 these programs were transferred from the Defense Health Agency to the United States Army.
