Military HIV Research Program (Army)

Abstract

This project conducts research on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This effort supports the Administration’s priorities in the area of international scientific partnership in global health engagement. Work in this area includes refining improved identification methods to determine genetic diversity of the virus and evaluating and preparing overseas sites for clinical trials with global vaccine candidates. Additional activities include refining candidate vaccines for preventing HIV and undertaking preclinical studies (studies required before testing in humans) to assess vaccine for potential to protect and/or manage the disease in infected individuals. This project is jointly managed through an Interagency Agreement between U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health. This project contains no duplication of effort within the Military Departments or other government organizations. The cited work is also consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas, and supports the principal area of Military Relevant Infectious Diseases to include HIV.
