Return Reference Explanation
Lobbying Expenses Part II-B The Foundation for AIDS Research developed an Action Agenda to End AIDS that identified critical decisions that need to be made to advance evidence based AIDS policies. We created a variety of issue briefs on topics such as the potential impact of various budget scenarios on global health services, and policy priorities to address the HIV epidemic among gay men in the US. These issue briefs were shared with Capitol Hill staff and members of the Administration. amfAR met regularly with staff to members of Congress and with Administration staff, and we provided input to the Administration on development of the PEPFAR Blueprint for an AIDS Free Generation. amfAR sponsored several briefings on Capitol Hill on AIDS policy and research issues. amfAR uses these briefings as an educational tool.

Foreign Activities Part I, Line 2 International organizations are recommended for funding based upon the results of community-based peer review and/or program staff assessment of proposal merit and organization capacity to undertake proposed projects that are CHARITABLE in purpose. Pre-award due-diligence for new international grantees includes review of organization documents and registrations to verify that the organization operates for a CHARITABLE purpose and that basic capacity for project oversight and governance has been established. All international grantees are required to report semi-annually on project progress and expenditures; continued reporting is required until such time as grant funds are expended in full. Reports are reviewed by administrative and program staff. Additional oversight is provided as necessary by means of ongoing, informal contact with sites regarding progress and technical issues and site visits where feasible. International research grant recipients submit an interim and a final progress reporting addition to expenditures reports due following the ends of the 2nd, 3rd and final quarters of the performance period.
foreign activities Part I, Line 3, Column D The Foundation for AIDS Research conducts many of its grant-making program services (see Part III of Form 990) in U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. In column D, the organization has reported the basic program these grants support; please refer to Part III for more information about these programs/initiatives.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule G, Part I The Foundation for AIDS Research actually paid out $569,004 in fundraising expenses for the year ending September 30, 2014. This amount is reported on Part IX, Line 11(e). For purposes of Schedule G, the Foundation is reporting all amounts paid to the consultants listed on Part I, regardless of whether such amounts were pure fundraising expenses or event production costs. On Schedule G, the total amount paid to the organizations listed is $880,954. Of that $880,954, only $569,004 was paid for fundraising services, the remaining $311,950 was paid for event production services. In the interests of clarity, the foundation would also like to make clear that the compensation reported as having been paid to the professional fundraisers reported on Schedule G is reported on a fiscal year basis. Some of those same fundraisers are reported on the foundation's top 5 highest paid independent contractors list (in Schedule O). In compliance with the instructions to the Form 990, compensation reported for Part VII (and listed in Schedule O) is reported on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, amounts on Part VII and Schedule G will not reconcile.

Return Reference Explanation
Grants and Assistance Part I, Line 2 amfAR provides grants and fellowships to independent not-for-profit organizations through a peer-review process. Grant applications are first reviewed by the Foundation's volunteer scientific advisory committee, which comprises recognized experts in the medical, scientific, and social sciences disciplines relevant to HIV and AIDS. The scientific advisory committee then sends its evaluations to one of the three committees (research, global initiatives or public policy) of the Foundation's program board, which serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Trustees. After a program committee has completed its review of the applications, it presents its funding recommendations to amfAR's executive committee and/or the full Board of Trustees for final approval and funding authorization. Grants and fellowships are payable over a one-to-three-year period, and are revocable at amfAR's option if the recipient's performance or use of funds is not consistent with the terms of the grant or fellowships. In certain cases, the actual amounts paid under grants and fellowship awards may be less than the original award if the recipient does not use the full amount awarded. Therefore, a reserve for unexpended grants and fellowships has been recorded. Subawards are grants awarded to not-for-profit organizations to support the costs of collaboration and participation in HIV/AIDS-related research projects for which amfAR has secured restricted funds. Subawards are payable over a one-year period, although advance payments, in full or in part, may be issued following execution of the subaward agreement. Subawards are contingent upon the availability of funds and are revocable if the recipients' performance or use of funds is not consistent with the subaward terms.

THE FOUNDATION FOR AIDS RESEARCH

Return Reference Explanation
Program Service Accomplishments(1) Part III, Line 4a-4d(1) Line 4a: Research: amfAR supports research projects that explore novel approaches to scientifically sound but untested hypotheses in all areas of research on HIV/AIDS, funding goal-oriented studies that often lack the preliminary data required for support from traditional grant-makers. The Foundation plays a vital role in HIV/AIDS research, identifying critical gaps in knowledge and providing essential seed money that enables grantees and fellows to test the merits of new concepts or technologies that subsequently can be validated through large-scale studies, such as those funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. amfAR fellowships allow talented young investigators to conduct original investigations under the guidance of experienced scientists, helping to ensure the long-term vitality of AIDS research. New Grants and Fellowships Grants and fellowships are awarded through a rigorous process of peer review by a team of independent HIV/AIDS experts drawn largely from the volunteer scientists on amfAR's Scientific Advisory Committee. Guided by its scientific advisors and with the approval of its board of trustees, amfAR pursues a strategic research plan that focuses on the treatment, prevention, and cure of HIV/AIDS. In FY2014, amfAR awarded nearly $7 million in grants and fellowships to support 34 research projects. Six researchers received Mathilde Krim Fellowships in Basic Biomedical Research, an initiative that provides funding for exceptional young researchers who are new to the field of HIV/AIDS research. The initiative has already achieved spectacular results, including numerous published studies in major scientific journals. The 2014 Krim Fellows-each of whom received $150,000-are working on projects focused on HIV/AIDS cure and epidemiological research and vaccine and treatment development. Among the 2014 fellows is Dr. Damien Tully of Massachusetts General Hospital, Cambridge, MA, who is using his amfAR funding to study tissue from mouse models and recently infected people to better understand how the virus spreads once infection occurs. HIV is usually transmitted through mucosal membranes, such as at the vagina or rectum, but eventually the virus wreaks its havoc in the intestines. Under the guidance of mentor Dr. Todd Allen, Dr. Tully aims to understand how the virus spreads and evolves in the body and to generate vital information for the development of a vaccine and possibly a cure. Cure-Focused Studies The search for a cure for HIV/AIDS is at the center of amfAR's research efforts. In FY2014, through the amfAR Research Consortium on HIV Eradication (ARCHE) program and other targeted grants, the Foundation awarded over $6 million toward cure-focused research. Countdown to a Cure for AIDS In February 2014, amfAR launched the Countdown to a Cure for AIDS, a research initiative aimed at developing the scientific basis for a cure for HIV by 2020. In support of the Countdown, amfAR plans to strategically invest $100 million in cure research over the next six years. amfAR Research Consortium on HIV Eradication The Foundation launched ARCHE in 2010 to encourage teams of distinguished scientists from across the globe to work collaboratively on cure-focused research and to provide them with the resources to do so. Since its inception, ARCHE funding has supported the work of 86 research teams pursuing cure-focused studies at 51 institutions on five continents. In July, more than $2.4 million in funding went to seven collaborative teams of researchers working in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and Australia on studies exploring potential strategies for characterizing viral reservoirs-a major obstacle to a cure-and eliminating HIV infection from the body. The largest award in this round of grants is supporting a consortium of European researchers studying the outcomes of HIV patients who undergo different types of stem cell transplants. Timothy Brown, the first and only person known to have been cured of HIV, received a stem cell transplant from a donor with a rare genetic mutation conferring resistance to HIV infection. The research team, led by Dr. Javier Martinez-Picado of Irsi Caixa in Spain and Dr. Annemarie Wensing of University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, anticipate having several HIV patients in need of stem cell transplants and hope to generate new knowledge that can inform more widely applicable interventions. A team of researchers in the U.S. will receive funding to address one of the most pressing challenges in HIV research: determining whether people whose HIV has dropped to an undetectable level have been cured, or whether current tests are simply not sensitive enough to detect every last remnant of virus. In a recent amfAR-funded study, Dr. Timothy Henrich of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston described two patients who had received stem cell transplants to treat their cancer and in whom HIV could no longer be detected using the most sophisticated tests currently available. When the patients stopped taking antiretroviral therapy, their virus eventually returned, indicating that they had not been cured. Dr. Henrich is collaborating with Dr. Ramesh Akkina of Colorado State University in an effort to infuse cells taken from the Boston patients prior to viral rebound into mice engineered to contain human immune systems. If the mice become infected, this would represent a more sensitive test of HIV persistence than any other test currently available. Targeted Grants for HIV Cure Research In February 2014, amfAR awarded 12 targeted grants totaling more than $2.15 million to leading researchers from around the world who are working on a variety of cutting-edge, cure-focused studies. These projects include research aimed at therapeutic vaccine development, expanding our understanding of latent viral reservoirs, and examining pharmacological and gene therapy approaches to curing HIV. Dr. Nancy Haigwood and her colleagues at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland are testing the ability of antibodies to limit the establishment of the viral reservoir in newborns infected with HIV. In a study that could inform our understanding of how and when the reservoir is established, Dr. Haigwood's team is testing in infant macaques the effects of antibodies found to be effective in controlling HIV in humans. At the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Hiroyu Hatano and colleagues are recruiting subjects from ongoing studies of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). Because these study participants are frequently tested for HIV, Dr. Hatano believes her team will be able to identify subjects in the first couple of weeks of infection, when the viral reservoirs are established. This will allow the researchers to discover which cells HIV infects at various stages during acute infection and how very early treatment might affect the size or distribution of the reservoir. A team of researchers at the University of Toronto led by Dr. Mario Ostrowski is pursuing an entirely different strategy: therapeutic vaccination. Dr. Ostrowski and colleagues are conducting a small pilot clinical trial of a therapeutic vaccine to determine whether it can reduce the size of the reservoir. The vaccine will be tested in subjects who started antiretroviral therapy within six months of acquiring HIV and is intended to induce cellular immunity, one arm of the immune system responsible for killing cells that are infected with the virus. Published Research Research studies make the greatest impact on the AIDS field and on the broader scientific community when they are published in scientific journals. In the past year, at least 49 scientific publications resulted from amfAR-funded research. Killer Immunity and HIV Reservoirs In the January issue of the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, amfAR grantee Dr. Mathias Lichterfeld reported on the immune responses of "elite controllers," people infected with HIV but capable of maintaining low viral loads and high T cell counts without the aid of antiretroviral therapy. Dr. Lichterfeld, working at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, along with colleagues there and at China Medical University in Shenyang, focused on a major player in the T cell immune system: the CD8+ cytotoxic cell. These "killer T cells" are capable of destroying cells infected with viruses. The research team found that the CD8+ T cells' ability to kill HIV-infected cells was significantly greater in elite controllers than in patients requiring antiretroviral therapy to suppress virus. Of even greater interest, further studies showed a consistent relationship among a genetic marker called MHC-1 B57, high killer T cell activity, and low virus reservoir. In addition, the effect was most pronounced in nave T cells-a type of immune cell that constitutes the reservoir but has
Program Service Accomplishments (2) Part III, Line 4a-4d (2) Line 4b: TREAT ASIA: amfAR's TREAT Asia program (Therapeutics Research, Education, and AIDS Training in Asia) is a network of hospitals, clinics, and research institutions working with civil society to ensure the safe and effective delivery of HIV/AIDS treatments across Asia and the Pacific. The TREAT Asia Network encompasses 21 adult and 18 pediatric sites throughout the region, which collaborate on a variety of projects. TREAT Asia HIV Observational Database (TAHOD) TREAT Asia pioneered the region's first adult observational database for HIV/AIDS, which now includes anonymous data collected from approximately 9,000 patients at 21 clinical sites in 12 countries. The information gathered and analysed through the database informs the development of more effective research and treatment programs, and helps define treatment standards specific to HIV/AIDS in Asia. In FY2014, the TAHOD network launched a multi-site clinical study in Asia that addresses obstacles to treating hepatitis C among those co-infected with HIV in four countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The study began with a screening to assess how many HIV-positive patients in TREAT Asia participating clinics in these countries needed to start treatment for hepatitis C. At the end of September, the study had enrolled approximately 135 patients in treatment, and will continue to enroll up to 200 patients. The study aims to develop a pilot model of care for treating hepatitis C in resource-limited settings that can be replicated throughout the region, where treatment for the disease is costly and often inaccessible. International AIDS Database TREAT Asia manages the Asia-Pacific section of the International Epidemiologic Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA), a global collaboration established by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. TREAT Asia Pediatric Network TREAT Asia's Pediatric Network includes 18 sites in six countries; these sites share information and best practices in an effort to improve the quality of pediatric care in the region. The TREAT Asia Pediatric HIV Observational Database (TApHOD) was modeled on the adult database and includes data from approximately 5,500 pediatric patients at 18 clinical sites in Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. In FY2014, the TREAT Asia Studies to Evaluate Resistance, Pediatrics (TASER-P) completed core activities of a three-year study on how children and adolescents who had developed resistance to first-line antiretrovirals (ARV) responded and adhered to second-line treatment. Ongoing analysis has provided insights into how to improve long-term ARV management in children and adolescents. TREAT Asia will continue to follow approximately 60 children who have developed resistance to second-line treatment for another two years in order to better understand which third-line ARVs will be most needed in the region. Adolescent Research In FY2014, TREAT Asia conducted several studies on how HIV affects adolescents physically, socially, and emotionally. TREAT Asia's pediatric sites conducted local studies among their adolescent HIV patients to investigate HIV's impact on their health and developmental needs. Among other issues, they investigated adolescents' reproductive and sexual health needs, liver function, treatment failure, treatment adherence, and the impact of orphanhood, disclosure, and school attendance on antiretroviral outcomes. In addition, TREAT Asia is conducting an ongoing study using an audio-computer-assisted survey instrument (ACASI) to better understand how adolescents experience living with HIV by allowing them to anonymously respond to questions using a computer interface about whether they are taking their medicines; if they have tried alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs; their sexual behavior; and stigma they may have experienced at school or at home. Exploring Links Between HIV and Cancer Among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM), the risk of anal cancer is twice the level of those who are HIV-negative, but little research has been done on this issue in Asia. In 2009, using funding from IeDEA, TREAT Asia began supporting an innovative research study exploring the links between HIV and anal cancer and looking at cancer biomarkers in an attempt to better identify MSM with pre-cancerous anal lesions. Research on human papillomavirus (HPV) and anal cancer risk among MSM is ongoing at sites in Bangkok, Bali, and Jakarta. Building Research and Treatment Capacity TREAT Asia has implemented a research education program to help network members strengthen their skills in conducting clinical research and to boost the overall quality of care in the region. TREAT Asia organized 10 workshops and training sessions in FY2014, including sessions for health providers on managing HIV and hepatitis C co-infection, treating men who have sex with men, clinical management of pediatric HIV, rights and legal protections for women living with HIV, and communication skills to promote early HIV testing and treatment. Building Community Treatment Literacy and Promoting Advocacy for Treatment Access Communicating treatment information about a disease as complex as HIV/AIDS can be daunting, but patients' lives depend on it. TREAT Asia works closely with regional organizations to support treatment literacy activities, including the production of "community-friendly" educational brochures on HIV treatment standards in local languages. In FY2014, TREAT Asia developed three fictional videos on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women living with HIV that provide examples of both positive and negative advice that HIV-positive pregnant women might receive from healthcare professionals. The videos are in Thai and have English subtitles. They are available on TREAT Asia's webpage and its public YouTube channel. In addition, TREAT Asia released a policy brief titled Hepatitis C and HIV: Addressing the Dual Epidemic, which summarizes hepatitis C disease progression, treatment, and advocacy priorities. It also produced a fact sheet providing a summary of the key recommendations in the first World Health Organization guidelines on the screening, care, and treatment of persons with hepatitis C infection. TREAT Asia also held a regional meeting on improving access to hepatitis C treatment, which was attended by 20 advocates from six South and Southeast Asian countries. TREAT Asia also continued to publish lay-language articles on AIDS research, policy, and community issues facing the TREAT Asia network and the Asia-Pacific as a whole. The articles appear in the TREAT Asia Report, a bimonthly e-newsletter, and on TREAT Asia's website, www.treatasia.org. 20th International AIDS Conference TREAT Asia was well represented at the main and pre-conference events in July 2014 in Melbourne, Australia. TREAT Asia staff and network investigators participated in pre-conference workshops on HIV pediatric and HIV cure research. At the pediatric workshop, presentations were made on two TREAT Asia studies and one IeDEA multi-regional analysis (duration of initial antiretroviral therapy). At the main conference, additional TREAT Asia studies were presented on adherence to treatment and experiences of stigma among adolescents, hepatitis C co-infection and liver disease, and 10-year treatment outcomes in TREAT Asia's regional adult HIV cohort. Dr. Annette Sohn, amfAR vice president and director of the TREAT Asia program, was invited to give oral presentations on key at-risk populations in Asia, non-communicable diseases in resource-limited settings, and pediatric and adolescent HIV.
Program Service Accomplishments (3) Part III, Line 4a-4d (3) Line 4c: EDUCATION AND INFORMATION: amfAR seeks to translate and disseminate information on important AIDS-related research, treatment, prevention, and policy issues for diverse audiences and to increase broad awareness and knowledge of the pandemic. amfAR also publishes a wide range of educational materials, maintains an informative website, and engages respected public figures, HIV/AIDS scientists, and policymakers in communicating the need for continued research to develop new methods of prevention, treatment, and, ultimately, a cure for AIDS. Educational Materials amfAR produces a range of periodicals in both print and electronic formats, including its newsletter Innovations, published twice a year and distributed to more than 45,000 people; the TREAT Asia Report, an e-mail newsletter distributed six times a year to more than 4,000 readers in the international health community; and a monthly e-mail newsletter distributed to nearly 100,000 people. The Foundation's website features news, interviews, blog posts, and other original articles covering science, policy, the global epidemic, and amfAR programs and activities. amfAR also creates and distributes program reports, press releases, and updates on major HIV/AIDS issues, and conducts public service advertising campaigns that have been instrumental in educating policymakers, healthcare professionals, people living with HIV/AIDS, and the general public. Social Media amfAR vigorously expanded its presence in the social media arena, reaching large numbers of people, including a younger demographic that is often less educated about HIV and the AIDS epidemic. The Foundation regularly added content to its Facebook page and live tweeted and posted images on Instagram from fundraising and program events. amfAR has 57,000 likes on Facebook, 29,000 Twitter followers, and nearly 33,000 Instagram followers. Media Outreach amfAR continued to work closely with the media to raise the profile of HIV/AIDS, both domestically and internationally, and to help ensure the accuracy of AIDS-related press coverage. Articles and reports involving amfAR-many of which included interviews with amfAR spokespeople-were carried in numerous media outlets, including the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Huffington Post, and news agencies such as the Associated Press, CNN, Bloomberg News, and Reuters. amfAR's public awareness efforts are greatly enhanced by the committed support of public figures who lend their voices and donate their time, talents, and resources to help sustain the Foundation's mission. Support of amfAR by prominent public figures began with the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor, and others have followed in her footsteps. amfAR is profoundly grateful for the continuing steadfast support of Global Fundraising Chairman Sharon Stone. In FY2014, celebrity supporters included amfAR Ambassadors Cheyenne Jackson, Janet Jackson, Milla Jovovich, Liza Minnelli, and Michelle Yeoh, as well as Dame Shirley Bassey, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, Jessica Chastain, Sofia Coppola, Alan Cumming, Willem Dafoe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jane Fonda, Grace Jones, Heidi Klum, Julianna Margulies, Kylie Minogue, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, Lana Del Rey, Michelle Rodriguez, Diana Ross, and Dita Von Teese, among many others.
Program Service Accomplishments (4) Part III, Line 4a-4d (4) THE GMT INITIATIVE: Since 2007, amfAR has been serving the HIV-related needs of gay men, other men who have sex with men (MSM), and transgender individuals (collectively, GMT) throughout the developing world through its GMT Initiative. Through small, targeted grants to grassroots groups, amfAR helps expand access to HIV education and prevention services; supports advocacy aimed at increasing funding for prevention and treatment services; and works to end the stigma, discrimination, and violence that threaten the lives of GMT and fuel the spread of HIV/AIDS. Community Awards In FY2014, amfAR awarded approximately $300,000 to 15 groups in Africa and Latin America for a wide range of projects addressing HIV prevention, outreach, education, advocacy, testing, research, and capacity building. Sample funded projects include: Africa Alternatives-Cameroun (Douala, Cameroon) Alternatives used its fifth year of GMT Initiative support to integrate peer-led strategies with clinical services to increase LGBT individuals' access to HIV prevention, care, and treatment in Douala. Alternatives mobilized their peer educators across the city to hold discussions on HIV/AIDS and STI prevention and treatment, while also promoting the services at its Access Center to increase the patient roster. In addition to the comprehensive medical services offered at the Access Center, Alternatives offered mobile testing and organized testing awareness days to reach a broader number of LGBT through HIV testing. Action Humanitaire Pour la Sant et le Dveloppement Communautaire (AHUSADEC) (Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo) In its second year of amfAR support, AHUSADEC improved its referral system for GMT-friendly public healthcare centers in Bukavu to improve the ability of GMT to access health services and HIV testing and treatment. It also empowered GMT sex workers by providing HIV prevention information. In addition, AHUSADEC hosted training workshops for healthcare workers at the GMT-friendly testing centers to ensure a stigma-free environment and launched a media campaign addressing HIV-related issues. Latin America Asociacin de Travestis, Transexuales, y Transgeneros de Argentina Asociacin Civil (ATTTA) (Buenos Aires, Argentina) ATTTA conducted a survey on attitudes, behaviors, and practices regarding sexual health and HIV prevention and risks for 180 transgender women and 40 of their stable partners in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The survey results were used to establish baseline behavioral data to inform policies and programs for transgender women. In addition, ATTTA established baseline HIV prevalence data by offering rapid HIV testing and counseling to all clients seeking services at their mobile health unit. The group also evaluated the acceptability of these services and referred all those with positive results directly to partner clinics. Red Nacional de Mujeres Travestis, Transexuales y Transgeneros de Bolivia (RED TREBOL) (Cochabamba, Bolivia) RED TREBOL used its third consecutive grant from amfAR to create the first trans-specific health center in Cochabamba. RED TREBOL established a physical space for the clinic and began to train peer educators to promote the clinic and its services and distribute referrals for the clinic to create demand. A medical team that provides services for RED TREBOL at their mobile unit program began offering HIV testing and counseling, hormones and hormonal guidance, STI prevention and treatment services, and mental health services at the clinic. "In Action" Awards Using two-year funding from the Arcus Foundation, the GMT Initiative supported four organizations as part of its Advocacy in Action program, which engages GMT-led community-based organizations that wish to influence the policies of governments and external donors. Ten organizations were supported through its Evidence in Action program, which documents and evaluates the impact of community-based programs with the ultimate goal of implementing the most workable strategies for stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS. Evidence in Action was developed with support from ViiV Healthcare's Positive Action Program and the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Publications As part of its efforts to raise awareness among governments, donors, and international nongovernmental organizations about the spread of HIV among GMT individuals and to advocate for effective strategies to address it, amfAR publishes reports on HIV and GMT. In FY2014, the GMT Initiative published two reports in its "Lessons from the Front Lines" series. The first, Lessons From the Front Lines: Research Impact Analysis, outlined some of the most successful community-led research studies GMT grantee partners have implemented to improve HIV testing, treatment, and awareness in five regions-Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and Latin America. The second, Lessons From the Front Lines: Trans Health and Rights, produced in collaboration with Global Action for Trans Equality (GATE), examined the challenges faced by 10 grantee partners-many of which were led by transgender individuals-and assessed their progress. The GMT Initiative also created a series of fact sheets in English, French, and Spanish on emerging HIV prevention technologies that explain each technology and serve as a tool to help GMT advocates advocate for the interventions' increased availability worldwide. Symposia and Conferences In January 2014, the GMT Initiative supported and attended a meeting hosted by the University of West Indies (UWI) and Columbia University engaging GMT community organization grantee partners, researchers, government officials, and other key stakeholders to develop a formalized GMT-related research agenda for Jamaica. Based on a similar program amfAR funded in South Africa, UWI and Columbia University used the meeting to formulate a research plan for submission to the U.S. National Institutes of Health for funding. In May, amfAR partnered with the Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Kenya (GALCK) and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) to sponsor a meeting between LGBT community members and social/behavioral researchers in Kenya to formulate a community-led research agenda on LGBT health. The GMT Initiative played an active role at the 2014 International AIDS Conference and the MSM pre-conference in Melbourne, Australia. Eighteen GMT activists and grantee partners received support from amfAR to attend the conference. All had at least one presentation during the conference, with many speaking on multiple panels and poster sessions. GMT Initiative staff convened nine sessions on topics including the results and lessons learned from its Evidence in Action program, transgender health and rights, information and communication technology use in HIV efforts targeting GMT individuals, lubricant access, and safety and security in conducting HIV research with GMT in rights-constrained settings. In addition, the GMT Initiative hosted a donor meeting on transgender issues and a grantee exchange meeting (in conjunction with the Public Policy office) for 24 representatives from current grantee partners.
Program Service Accomplishments (5) Part III, Line 4a-4d (5) public policy: Informed by thorough research and analysis, amfAR is a highly respected advocate of rational and compassionate AIDS-related public policy. The Foundation is engaged in efforts to secure necessary increases in funding for HIV/AIDS research; implement the U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy; expand access to care and treatment; and protect the civil rights of all people affected by HIV/AIDS. Capitol Hill Briefings The Role of HIV Research in Ending AIDS: New Developments in HIV Vaccine and Prevention Science, November 18, 2013 amfAR co-sponsored this briefing with AVAC: Global Advocacy for HIV Prevention, the Center for Global Health Policy, and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, in cooperation with Congresswoman Barbara Lee. Speakers included Carl Dieffenbach, director of NIAID's Division of AIDS; Fred Sawe, deputy director of Kenya Medical Research Institute/Walter Reed Project; Christina Polyak, research physician at the Military HIV Research Program, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research; and Margaret McGlynn, president and chief executive officer of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative. Christine Lubinski, executive director of the Center for Global Health Policy, and Kevin Fisher, policy director of AVAC: Global Advocacy for HIV Prevention, acted as moderators. Making AIDS History: From Science to Solutions, April 30, 2014 amfAR convened a panel of leading government, research, policy, and advocacy experts in Washington, D.C., to discuss recent progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, both domestically and globally. Participants included Dr. Jim Yong Kim, president of the World Bank Group; Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health; Dr. Deborah Birx, Ambassador-at-Large and U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator; Michel Sidib, executive director of UNAIDS; Judy Woodruff, co-anchor of PBS NewsHour; Dr. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health and chair of Harvard Medical School's Department of Global Health and Social Medicine; and Douglas Brooks, director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy; among others. Members of Congress, including House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator Tom Harkin, and Congressman Jim Himes, also spoke at the briefing organized by Dr. Susan Blumenthal, amfAR's senior policy and medical advisor and former U.S. Assistant Surgeon General. Shaping the Domestic Response to HIV/AIDS amfAR has long advocated the implementation of a comprehensive national HIV/AIDS strategy to address the epidemic in the U.S., where more than 1 million people are living with the virus. In FY2014, amfAR produced a number of opinion pieces, issue briefs, special reports, and infographics addressing important domestic topics, such as funding for AIDS research and U.S. HIV/AIDS programs, Medicaid expansion's effect on HIV health services in the U.S., and HIV prevention among key populations, specifically transgender individuals and black MSM. In December 2013, amfAR partnered with the Treatment Action Group (TAG) to issue a report titled Filling the Gaps in the U.S. HIV Treatment Cascade: Developing a Community Driven Research Agenda that outlined research needed to improve outcomes on the domestic HIV treatment cascade and ensure more people are engaged and retained in HIV care. The two groups then jointly held a series of meetings with government officials on next steps to enact the agenda. As one of the earliest supporters of comprehensive harm reduction programs for people who inject drugs (PWID), including syringe exchange, amfAR has played a leading role in advocating the implementation of these lifesaving HIV prevention programs. In FY2014, amfAR continued to advocate overturning the ban on federal funding of syringe services programs. Global Health amfAR produced a special report with AVAC: Global Advocacy for HIV Prevention outlining the need for a new approach to tracking data to guide the key decisions that shape the global response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The report, titled Data Watch: Closing a Persistent Gap in the AIDS Response, updates amfAR's and AVAC's 2012 Action Agenda to End AIDS, which made the case for a more businesslike approach to ending the epidemic and proposed a multi-year plan with concrete strategies, targets, and timelines. amfAR also partnered with AVAC to place an opinion piece written by Chris Collins, former amfAR vice president and director of Public Policy, and Mitchell Warren, executive director of AVAC, titled "Time to Tip the Scales in Favor of Ending AIDS" in the Huffington Post to accompany the report. The editorial was also posted on POZ.com and the Kaiser Daily Summary. Additionally, in FY2014, amfAR reported on the need for funding for the global AIDS response through opinion pieces, issue briefs, and infographics, with specific attention to how funding cuts to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria would undermine a decade's worth of progress in scaling up treatment and care. In January 2014, Dr. Susan Blumenthal, amfAR senior policy and medical advisor, placed an opinion piece in the Huffington Post titled "Our Shared Responsibility: Ending AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria." Public Policy also continued to advocate for sound, evidence-based policies to address HIV among key populations globally. In FY2014, Kali Lindsey, deputy director of the Public Policy Office, traveled to Kenya and Vietnam to discuss efforts to scale up access to syringe exchange, methadone, and ARV for PWID. Gay men, other men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals-collectively referred to as GMT-remain one of the hardest hit and most underserved populations in the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. amfAR's policy office works closely with the Foundation's GMT Initiative to advocate for expanded access to HIV prevention and treatment services for GMT worldwide, and to fight the stigma and discrimination that make GMT more vulnerable to HIV infection and inhibit equal access to care. In March, amfAR Founding Chairman Dr. Mathilde Krim and amfAR Trustee Harry Belafonte expressed their grave concern over new anti-LGBT laws in Uganda and Nigeria in an opinion piece for CNN.com.
