Mil HIV Vac&Drug Dev

Abstract

This project funds development of militarily relevant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) medical countermeasures. It provides funding for the planning and conducting of human clinical trials in a group of healthy volunteers to assess the drug/vaccine for safety, tolerability, how the drug/vaccine is distributed, metabolized, and excreted from the body, and to investigate the appropriate dose for therapeutic use. Development efforts are focused on militarily unique needs effecting manning, mobilization, and deployment. The major contractor is Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Rockville, MD. Research efforts are coordinated with the National Institutes of Health.
