International Forum for AIDS Research (IFAR)

Abstract

The International Forum for AIDS Research (IFAR) was a three-year activity established by the Institute of Medicine in January 1990 to enhance coordination of research in prevention and control of HIV/AIDS. The focus of IFAR was 'non-biomedical', and member institutions retained complete autonomy and control over their own programs and resources. IFAR was intended to be a flexible entity, offering a neutral forum for ongoing communication, discussion, and problem-solving among funders of AIDS research in developing countries. The initial IOM proposal called for IFAR to be disbanded or moved to another venue after its three years at the Institute. Current plans call for IFAR to be relocated within, and administered by, the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS and to be chaired by the United Nations Development Programme. ...
