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. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE SCHEDULE O.AMFAR FELLOWSHIPS ALLOW TALENTED YOUNG RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT ORIGINAL INVESTIGATIONS UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF EXPERIENCED SCIENTISTS, HELPING TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM VITALITY OF AIDS RESEARCH.NEW GRANTS AND FELLOWSHIPSGRANTS 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 FINDING A CURE FOR HIV. AMFAR'S GRANTMAKING PROGRAM CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF GRANTS:TARGET GRANTSTHESE GRANTS OF UP TO $400,000 ARE AWARDED FOR INTERVENTIONAL BASIC AND PRECLINICAL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROJECTS AIMED AT CURING HIV. ARCHE GRANTSLAUNCHED IN 2010, THE AMFAR RESEARCH CONSORTIUM ON HIV ERADICATION, OR ARCHE, SUPPORTS COLLABORATIVE TEAMS OF SCIENTISTS IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD WORKING ON A RANGE OF HIV CURE STRATEGIES.MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS IN BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCHNAMED FOR AMFAR'S FOUNDING CHAIRMAN DR. MATHILDE KRIM, THIS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM SUPPORTS PROMISING EARLY-CAREER SCIENTISTS ADVANCING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO HIV/AIDS UNDER THE MENTORSHIP OF SEASONED INVESTIGATORS. TARGET GRANTSIN MARCH 2022, AMFAR AWARDED A TARGET GRANT TO ANJIE ZHEN, PH.D., OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES, TO SUPPORT HER HIV CURE RESEARCH. DR. ZHEN IS DETERMINING IF CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (CAR) T CELL THERAPY, WHICH HAS A SOLID TRACK RECORD IN THE TREATMENT OF A VARIETY OF CANCERS, COULD BE A WAY TO ELIMINATE HIV IN A PATIENT'S BODY. CAR T CELLS ARE GENETICALLY ALTERED TO SEEK OUT AND DESTROY PATHOGENS SUCH AS CANCER OR HIV, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN LESS SUCCESSFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF HIV IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OVER TIME THEY BECOME EXHAUSTED AND INEFFECTIVE.DR. ZHEN'S PREVIOUS STUDY FOUND THAT FOUND THAT AUTOPHAGY - THE NATURAL PROCESS THROUGH WHICH THE BODY CLEANS DEBRIS OUT OF CELLS - CAN BOTH ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF CAR T CELLS TO FIGHT HIV AND REDUCE THE TOXICITY OF LATENCY-REVERSING AGENTS (LRAS) USED TO FORCE HIV OUT OF HIDING. WITH A $100,000 GRANT PROVIDED BY AMFAR, DR. ZHEN AND HER TEAM PLAN TO IDENTIFY THE MOST EFFECTIVE AUTOPHAGY-INDUCING DRUGS AND USE THEM IN COMBINATION WITH CAR T CELLS AND AN LRA IN AN EFFORT TO ELIMINATE HIV INFECTION. SHE WAS ALSO AWARDED AN ARCHE GRANT LATER IN THE YEAR (SEE BELOW).IN JUNE, QIGUI YU, M.D., PH.D., OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY IN INDIANAPOLIS, WAS AWARDED A GRANT OF $100,000 TO TEST A CLASS OF DRUGS APPROVED TO TREAT CANCER TO ERADICATE HIV-INFECTED T FOLLICULAR HELPER (TFH) CELLS. TFH CELLS USUALLY FUNCTION TO EDUCATE B CELLS IN MAKING THE MOST APPROPRIATE ANTIBODIES TO FIGHT INFECTION. BUT WHEN HIV-INFECTED, TFH CELLS MAY PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SPREADING INFECTION, GIVEN THEIR POSITION IN THE LYMPH NODE, IN PROXIMITY TO OTHER IMMUNE CELLS. DR. YU WILL TEST SEVERAL COMPOUNDS IN A CLASS OF DRUGS THAT INHIBIT THE PROTEIN BIRC5, WHOSE USUAL FUNCTION IS TO KEEP CELLS ALIVE, AND SEE IF THESE BIRC5 INHIBITORS WILL ALLOW INFECTED TFH CELLS TO DIE.IN SEPTEMBER, AMFAR AWARDED ALMOST $1.5 MILLION TO RESEARCHERS LOOKING AT STRATEGIES THAT WOULD ERADICATE THE HIV RESERVOIR AS WELL AS IMMUNE-BASED STRATEGIES TO CONTROL HIV.ANNA HEARPS, PH.D., OF THE BURNET INSTITUTE IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, WILL USE HER $106,088 GRANT TO FILL IN GAPS IN WHAT SCIENTISTS KNOW ABOUT MACROPHAGES, AN IMPORTANT BUT UNDERSTUDIED RESERVOIR OF HIV. THESE LONG-LIVED CELLS ARE VERY GOOD AT RESISTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM'S ATTEMPTS TO KILL THEM, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE INFECTED AND OSTENSIBLY PRIME TARGETS FOR ANTIBODIES. DR. HEARPS WILL FIRST IDENTIFY THOSE ANTI-HIV ANTIBODIES THAT BEST RECOGNIZE INFECTED MACROPHAGES AS THESE WILL LIKELY DIFFER FROM ANTIBODIES THAT PERFORM WELL AGAINST INFECTED CD4+ T CELLS. IN THIS TARGETED APPROACH, THE ANTIBODIES WOULD HELP ERADICATE THE RESERVOIR BY RECRUITING NATURAL KILLER (NK) CELLS TO KILL THE INFECTED MACROPHAGES. SHE ALSO AIMS TO DETERMINE WHICH SUBSET OF NK CELLS ARE BEST AT KILLING MACROPHAGES, SO THAT THESE CAN BE EXPANDED AND USED AS PART OF AN IMMUNOTHERAPY TO CURE HIV.SHARON LEWIN, M.D., PH.D., OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE, WAS AWARDED A $480,000 GRANT FOR A STUDY USING THE DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT WORKED SO WELL FOR TWO VERY EFFECTIVE COVID-19 VACCINESMESSENGER RNA (MRNA) ENCASED IN A LIPID NANOPARTICLE. THIS MRNA VEHICLE WILL TRANSPORT LRAS TO HIV-INFECTED RESERVOIR CELLS IN ORDER TO REACTIVATE THEM, THUS MAKING THEM A TARGET FOR ERADICATION. NO LRA HAS SO FAR PROVEN POWERFUL ENOUGH TO FORCE HIV-INFECTED CELLS TO START REPLICATING IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM VULNERABLE TO CELL DEATH. IN ORDER TO BOOST THE POTENCY OF THE LRAS, DR. LEWIN PLANS TO MODIFY THE APPROACH BY TARGETING LIPID NANOPARTICLES MORE SPECIFICALLY TO INFECTED CELLS. USING CRISPR-CAS TECHNOLOGY, THE LRA WILL BE GENE-EDITED TO BIND TO THE VIRAL DNA AND DIRECTLY FORCE THE VIRUS TO START REPLICATING. ONCE THE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN OPTIMIZED, DR. LEWIN WILL TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS INTERVENTION IN MICE. IMMUNOTHERAPY USING NATURAL KILLER CELLS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TYPES OF CANCER. INCREASINGLY, HIV RESEARCHERS ARE EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF NK CELLS TO KILL HIV-INFECTED CELLS. LUIS MONTANER, M.D., OF THE WISTAR INSTITUTE, WHO HAS BEEN AWARDED $372,662, WILL BUILD ON CANCER RESEARCH KNOW-HOW TO ENGINEER AND OPTIMIZE NK CELLS SO THAT THEY CAN BIND TO ANTIBODIES THAT HAVE ALREADY PROVEN EFFECTIVE AGAINST HIV. THESE ANTIBODIES WILL ALSO BE MODIFIED TO BETTER TRIGGER CELL DEATH WHENEVER THEY MEET INFECTED CELLS. DR. MONTANER WILL TEST THIS ENGINEERED APPROACH IN MICE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PRODUCT MIGRATES TO THE APPROPRIATE REGIONS OF THE BODY AND IF HIV CAN BE CONTROLLED ONCE ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY IS STOPPED. CYTOTOXIC T CELLS AND NK CELLS, SOME OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM'S MOST EFFECTIVE KILLERS, ARE INEFFECTIVE AGAINST THE HIV RESERVOIR IN PART BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EASILY ACCESS THE REGIONS OF THE LYMPH NODE WHERE A MAJOR RESERVOIR PERSISTS. IN ADDITION, THESE CELLS, AS WITH NORMAL CELLS, ARE PRONE TO EXHAUSTING THEMSELVES. PAMELA SKINNER, PH.D., OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, WILL USE HER $480,000 GRANT TO ENGINEER CAR T AND NK CELLS TO MIGRATE SPECIFICALLY TO THE LYMPH NODES TO ENHANCE THEIR CHANCES OF SUCCESS. IN ADDITION, SHE WILL MODIFY THESE CELLS SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME EXHAUSTION, RESIST BECOMING HIV-INFECTED THEMSELVES, AND ENDURE LONG ENOUGH TO KILL HIV-INFECTED CELLS. SHE WILL USE A NEW GENETIC ENGINEERING METHOD THAT COULD REDUCE THE COST AND COMPLEXITY THAT CURRENTLY SURROUNDS CAR T CELL THERAPY IN CANCER.ARCHE GRANTSXU YU, M.D., OF MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL IN BOSTON, RECEIVED A GRANT WORTH $1 MILLION TO EXPLORE HOW ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (ART) MAY CONTRIBUTE TO AN HIV CURE. DR. YU WILL STUDY 50 PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON ART FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS AND DESCRIBE THE LOSS OF REPLICATION-COMPETENT VIRUSES AND RELATIVE ACCUMULATION OF VIRUSES IN SO-CALLED "GENE DESERTS" TO DETERMINE IF HIV HAS BEEN CLEARED. DR. YU AND HER TEAM PREVIOUSLY HELPED CONFIRM INITIAL FINDINGS IN THE CASE OF A WOMAN, NAMED THE ESPERANZA PATIENT, WHO HAS APPARENTLY CLEARED HIV CAPABLE OF PRODUCING PROGENY WITHOUT THE HELP OF ART.IN A NOD TO THE PROMISE OF FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES, THREE GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO SUPPORT RESEARCH INTO A VARIETY OF GENE THERAPIES TO ELIMINATE HIV-INFECTED CELLS. SAAR GILL, PH.D., OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA IN PHILADELPHIA, WILL RECEIVE $180,000 TO DESIGN A TRANSPLANT INTERVENTION FOR INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH HIV USING A PERSON'S OWN GENE-EDITED CELLS. BEFORE THE TRANSPLANT, DR. GILL PLANS A SERIES OF IMMUNOTHERAPY AND GENE THERAPY INTERVENTIONS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE MOST OR PERHAPS ALL OF THE VIRAL RESERVOIR. THE TRANSPLANTED CELLS WILL BE GENE-EDITED TO PROTECT THEM FROM HIV INFECTION. AFTER THE TRANSPLANT, HE WILL USE CAR T CELL IMMUNOTHERAPY TO HELP CLEAR OUT THE REMAINDER OF THE ORIGINAL IMMUNE SYSTEM, WHICH MIGHT STILL HARBOR HIV. THIS PROCESS WILL BE TESTED IN A SMALL ANIMAL MODEL.

TREAT ASIA: AMFAR'S TREAT ASIA (THERAPEUTICS RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND AIDS TRAINING IN ASIA) PROGRAM IS A NETWORK OF HOSPITALS, CLINICS, AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS WORKING WITH CIVIL SOCIETY TO ENSURE THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF TREATMENTS FOR HIV AND ITS CO-INFECTIONS TO ADULTS AND CHILDREN ACROSS THE ASIA-PACIFIC THROUGH RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND ADVOCACY OF EVIDENCE-BASED HIV-RELATED POLICIES. THE TREAT ASIA NETWORK ENCOMPASSES 21 ADULT AND 21 PEDIATRIC SITES THROUGHOUT THE REGION, WHICH COLLABORATE ON A VARIETY OF PROJECTS. FOR FURTHER DETAILS, SEE SCHEDULE O. TREAT ASIA SCIENTISTS PRODUCED 24 PUBLICATIONS IN PEER-REVIEWED MEDICAL JOURNALS IN FY2022.INTERNATIONAL AIDS DATABASETREAT ASIA MANAGES THE ASIA-PACIFIC SECTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGY DATABASES TO EVALUATE AIDS (IEDEA), A GLOBAL COLLABORATION ESTABLISHED BY THE U.S. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. TREAT ASIA HIV OBSERVATIONAL DATABASE (TAHOD)TREAT ASIA PIONEERED THE REGION'S FIRST ADULT OBSERVATIONAL DATABASE FOR HIV/AIDS, WHICH INCLUDED ANONYMOUS DATA FROM MORE THAN 10,700 PATIENTS AT 21 CLINICAL SITES IN 12 COUNTRIES IN ITS FINAL DATA TRANSFER IN SEPTEMBER 2021. THE INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE DATABASE INFORMS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE EFFECTIVE RESEARCH AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS AND HELPS DEFINE TREATMENT STANDARDS SPECIFIC TO HIV/AIDS IN ASIA. TAHOD LOW-INTENSITY TRANSFER LAUNCHED IN 2014, TAHOD LOW-INTENSITY TRANSFER (TAHOD-LITE) CONTAINED DATA FROM OVER 51,000 HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS ACROSS 11 TREAT ASIA NETWORK SITES IN ITS FINAL DATA TRANSFER IN 2021. AS AN EXTENSION OF TAHOD, TAHOD-LITE AIMS TO INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ADULT DATA COLLECTION BY GATHERING A SUBSET OF CORE VARIABLES FROM THE ENTIRE COHORT OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV WHO HAVE SOUGHT CARE AT SELECTED TAHOD SITES.TREAT ASIA PEDIATRIC HIV OBSERVATIONAL DATABASE THE TREAT ASIA PEDIATRIC HIV OBSERVATIONAL DATABASE (TAPHOD) IS A REGIONAL PEDIATRIC HIV STUDY SET UP BY TREAT ASIA IN 2006. IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE ADULT DATABASE AND INCLUDES DATA FROM MORE THAN 7,400 CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AT 17 CLINICAL SITES IN CAMBODIA, INDIA, INDONESIA, MALAYSIA, THAILAND, AND VIETNAM.TAHOD AND TAPHOD ANNUAL MEETINGSIN NOVEMBER 2021 BOTH THE TAHOD AND TAPHOD STEERING COMMITTEES HELD THEIR ANNUAL MEETINGS, WITH THAILAND-BASED INVESTIGATORS ATTENDING IN BANGKOK AND REGIONAL INVESTIGATORS JOINING VIRTUALLY. ATTENDED BY INVESTIGATORS AND STUDY COORDINATORS, THE MEETINGS INCLUDED UPDATES AND DISCUSSIONS ON TAHOD AND TAPHOD DATA, COVID-19-RELATED DATA, PROPOSED ANALYSES, AND ONGOING AND NEW SUB-STUDIES. FOGARTY-IEDEA MENTORSHIP PROGRAM (FIMP) AND CHIMERA D43 RESEARCH ANALYSES AND PROJECTS, AND FUTURE RESEARCH STRATEGIES WERE ALSO DISCUSSED.INTEGRATING HIV, MENTAL HEALTH, AND IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE RESEARCHIN 2019, THE U.S. NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AWARDED A FIVE-YEAR, $1.4 MILLION GRANT TO TREAT ASIA AND COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TO ESTABLISH AN INNOVATIVE PLATFORM FOR INTEGRATING HIV, MENTAL HEALTH, AND IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE RESEARCH IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE CHIMERA PROGRAM (CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT FOR HIV AND MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH IN ASIA) IS TO ADDRESS THE DUAL AND INTERLINKED BURDENS OF HIV AND MENTAL HEALTH. CO-LED BY PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS DR. ANNETTE SOHN, AMFAR VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF TREAT ASIA, AND DR. MILTON WAINBERG, PROFESSOR OF CLINICAL PSYCHIATRY AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND THE NEW YORK STATE PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE, THE PROGRAM AIMS TO BUILD A TEAM WITHIN THE ASIA-PACIFIC WITH THE CAPACITY TO LEAD REGIONAL HIV-MENTAL HEALTH-IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE RESEARCH THAT WILL INFORM PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CLINICAL CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV. THE PROGRAM IS NESTED WITHIN THE IEDEA (SEE ABOVE) ASIA-PACIFIC REGIONAL RESEARCH NETWORK THAT TREAT ASIA DIRECTS. CHIMERA CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING TOGETHER STELLAR TRAINING FACULTY FROM ACADEMIC CENTERS AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES WITHIN THE REGION AND ACROSS THE WORLD, AND WILL BUILD ON EXISTING NIH-FUNDED MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH BEING CONDUCTED THROUGH IEDEA ASIA-PACIFIC.IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2022, A D43 ABSTRACT MENTORSHIP PROGRAM FOR THIS YEAR'S APACC (ASIA-PACIFIC AIDS & CO-INFECTIONS CONFERENCE) WAS ARRANGED TO SUPPORT CHIMERA AND OTHER ASIA D43 FELLOWS. FOUR CLASS I AND ONE CLASS 2 FELLOWS DEVELOPED ABSTRACTS FOR SUBMISSION TO THE JUNE CONFERENCE AND ALL WERE ACCEPTED. THROUGHOUT FY2022, CLASS I FELLOWS CONTINUED IMPLEMENTATION OF THEIR PILOT RESEARCH PROJECTS, WITH MAJOR STRIDES MADE IN DATA COLLECTION, DATA CODING, AND PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS. IN ADDITION, CLASS 2 FELLOWS CONTINUED TRAINING ACTIVITIES, FINALIZED THEIR RESEARCH STUDY PROTOCOLS, AND WORKED TOWARD IRB APPROVAL IN ANTICIPATION OF IMPLEMENTING THEIR PILOT RESEARCH PROJECTS. IN SEPTEMBER, FOURTEEN CLASS 1 AND CLASS 2 FELLOWS PARTICIPATED IN THE AMFARCOLUMBIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE TRAINING PROGRAM, TRAVELING TO NEW YORK CITY FOR A WEEKLONG SLATE OF WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS.TREAT ASIA AND NETWORK PARTNER RESEARCHTREAT ASIA AND ITS NETWORK PARTNERS CONDUCT A MYRIAD OF STUDIES, WHICH THIS YEAR INCLUDED RESEARCH FOCUSED ON LUNG CANCER, LUNG IMPAIRMENT IN HIV AND TB, MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING AND LINKAGE TO CARE STRATEGIES, SEROLOGY OF SARS-COV-2, CHEMSEX IN YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM), AND HPV AND ANAL CANCER RISK AMONG MSM, AMONG OTHERS.

THIS GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN ONLY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THE POSITION IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. AMFAR IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), THOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO TAX ON INCOME UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE, UNLESS THAT INCOME IS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED BY THE CODE. AMFAR HAS PROCESSES PRESENTLY IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED INCOME; TO DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS NEXUS; AND TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED TAX POSITIONS. AMFAR HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

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.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE FOUNDATION FOR AIDS RESEARCH IS AN INTERNATIONAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION INCORPORATED IN NEW YORK IN 1989. AMFAR WAS FORMED THROUGH THE UNIFICATION IN 1985 OF TWO NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, THE AIDS MEDICAL FOUNDATION ("AMF"), INCORPORATED IN NEW YORK IN APRIL 1983, AND THE NATIONAL AIDS RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INCORPORATED IN CALIFORNIA IN AUGUST 1985. FIRST BASED IN CALIFORNIA, AMFAR TRANSFERRED ITS LEGAL DOMICILE TO NEW YORK IN 1989, USING THE INITIAL INCORPORATION DOCUMENTS OF AMF, MAKING IT AMF'S LEGAL SUCCESSOR. AMFAR HAS OFFICES IN NEW YORK, NY, WASHINGTON, D.C., AND BANGKOK, THAILAND. ON MARCH 7, 2005, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR AIDS RESEARCH APPROVED A CHANGE IN LEGAL NAME TO "THE FOUNDATION FOR AIDS RESEARCH." ON OCTOBER 18, 2005, THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF STATE APPROVED THIS CHANGE. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION HAS SECURED APPROVAL FOR DOING BUSINESS AS (DBA) THE FOLLOWING: - AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR AIDS RESEARCH - AMFAR - AIDS RESEARCH FOUNDATION AMFAR IS DEDICATED TO ENDING THE GLOBAL AIDS EPIDEMIC THROUGH INNOVATIVE RESEARCH. THE FOUNDATION ACCOMPLISHES THIS MISSION THROUGH: - RESEARCH TO EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES TO HIV PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND POTENTIAL CURES, AND TO ENHANCE THE HEALTH AND SURVIVAL OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS; - INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE RESEARCH, TREATMENT, PREVENTION, AND EDUCATION STRATEGIES IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES; - PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS AND THE ADVOCACY OF RATIONAL AND COMPASSIONATE POLICIES THAT PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH AND PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE THREATENED BY HIV/AIDS; - EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES TO BUILD AWARENESS OF THE CONTINUED THREAT HIV/AIDS POSES AND TO PUBLISH UPDATES ABOUT THE LATEST MEDICAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND PREVENTION ADVANCES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS, HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, AND THE PUBLIC.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A WITH A $148,500 GRANT, KEITH JEROME, M.D., PH.D., OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON IN SEATTLE, WILL STUDY WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESENCE OF ART MIGHT ADVERSELY IMPACT THE EFFICACY OF ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY USED MEANS OF DELIVERING GENE THERAPY-ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS (AAV). INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVE GENE THERAPY MOST LIKELY WILL BE TAKING ART, SO THE QUESTION OF COMPATIBILITY IS A VITAL ONE. THE RECIPIENT OF A FY2022 TARGET GRANT, ANJIE ZHEN, PH.D. (SEE ABOVE), WILL USE A $210,000 ARCHE GRANT TO CONTINUE TO FINE-TUNE CAR T CELL THERAPY, WHICH HAS SHOWN LIMITED SUCCESS AGAINST HIV TO DATE. DR. ZHEN WILL CREATE STEMS CELLS USING BLOOD-DERIVED STEM CELLS, SELECTED FOR THEIR POTENTIAL TO PERSIST AND SELF-RENEW. SHE WILL EXPLORE THEIR CAPACITY TO MATURE INTO NOT ONLY CAR T CELLS, BUT ALSO CAR-NATURAL KILLER CELLS AND CAR-MACROPHAGES, ALL THREE OF WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ATTACK HIV-INFECTED CELLS. MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 2022 MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH - DR. SEBASTIAN FUCHS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI IN FLORIDA, DR. LEILA GIRON OF THE WISTAR INSTITUTE IN PHILADELPHIA, AND DR. JEANNETTE TENTHOREY OF THE FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER IN SEATTLE - WERE ANNOUNCED IN MARCH. ANTIBODIES ARE A PROMISING TREATMENT OR POTENTIAL COMPONENT OF A CURE FOR HIV, BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND MUST BE DOSED REPEATEDLY. GERMAN-BORN DR. FUCHS AND HIS MENTOR DR. RON DESROSIERS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A GENE THERAPY APPROACH TO DELIVERING THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES SO THAT A PERSON'S BODY COULD MAKE AN INDEFINITE SUPPLY OF THEM. ONE CHALLENGE IS THAT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM CAN GENERATE RESPONSES AGAINST THESE ANTIBODIES AND DESTROY THEM BEFORE THEY CAN EXERT THEIR BENEFICIAL EFFECTS. DR. FUCHS WILL ATTEMPT TO INDUCE IMMUNE TOLERANCE OF THE FOREIGN ANTIBODIES BY EITHER REPEATEDLY EXPOSING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO THE ANTIBODIES THEMSELVES, OR BY RECRUITING RED BLOOD CELLS TO CONVEY A MESSAGE OF TOLERANCE TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. HIS RESULTS MAY IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER ANTIBODIES AS THERAPY NOT ONLY FOR HIV, BUT ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF DISEASES. A NATIVE OF BRAZIL, DR. LEILA GIRON, SEEKS TO ANALYZE THE ROLE OF CELL METABOLISM IN HIV PERSISTENCE. DR. GIRON HAS DATA SUGGESTING THE PROCESS OF CELL METABOLISM CAN AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE VIRUS TO REACTIVATE, AND THAT SOME COMPONENTS OF THE PROCESS CAN EVEN PREDICT WHETHER, AND FOR HOW LONG, A PERSON CAN CONTROL HIV WITHOUT ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY. SHE PLANS TO DELVE INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS METABOLIC PROCESS AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL HIV. DR. TENTHOREY'S RESEARCH FOCUSES LARGELY ON TRIM5ALPHA, AN ANTIVIRAL PROTEIN THAT RESTRICTS HIV. AS A KRIM FELLOW, DR. TENTHOREY WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH TRIM5ALPHA BINDS TO HIV AND ALTERS THE UNCOATING PROCESS NECESSARY FOR A VIRUS TO INFECT A CELL. WHILE HIV HAS EVOLVED TO AVOID THE ACTION OF TRIM5ALPHA, BETTER UNDERSTANDING THIS PROCESS COULD LEAD TO THERAPIES THAT WOULD ALLOW THE HUMAN BODY TO BLOCK THE VIRUS. EACH FELLOW IS AWARDED APPROXIMATELY $150,000 OVER TWO YEARS. ALEKSANDAR ANTANASIJEVIC, PH.D., OF THE COLE POLYTECHNIQUE FDRALE DE LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND, WAS AWARDED $50,000 TO CONTINUE THE WORK FUNDED BY HIS 2021 KRIM FELLOWSHIP. HE IS USING A SOPHISTICATED IMAGING TECHNOLOGY CALLED CRYOEMPEM TO ADDRESS THE OBSTACLES THAT MAKE DEVELOPING AN HIV VACCINE SO CHALLENGING. PUBLISHED RESEARCH RESEARCH STUDIES MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THE HIV FIELD AND ON THE BROADER SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WHEN THEY ARE PUBLISHED IN SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. IN FY2022, 29 SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS RESULTED FROM AMFAR-FUNDED RESEARCH. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: USING IMAGING TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE THE HIV RESERVOIR IN ORDER TO TARGET AND POTENTIALLY ERADICATE THE HIV RESERVOIR, THE MAIN BARRIER TO A CURE, SCIENTISTS FIRST NEED TO DISCOVER WHERE EXACTLY HIV HIDES OUT. ALONG WITH HIS TEAM, AMFAR GRANTEE DR. TIMOTHY HENRICH, OF THE AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, RECENTLY BECAME THE FIRST TO DEVELOP A METHOD OF USING PET IMAGING TO DIRECTLY ASSESS WHICH TISSUES IN LIVE HUMANS HARBOR THE GREATEST BURDEN OF VIRUS. HE REPORTED FURTHER WORK BY HIS TEAM, DESCRIBING HOW THE HIV RESERVOIR SHIFTS LOCATION OVER THE COURSE OF LONG-TERM TREATED HIV AND NEW METHODS OF MEASURING HIV ACTIVITY INSIDE LYMPH NODES IN REAL TIME. THE STUDY, PUBLISHED IN THE PRESTIGIOUS JOURNAL NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, HELPS FURTHER IDENTIFY AND CHARACTERIZE THE HIV RESERVOIR LOCATED IN PARTS OF THE BODY INACCESSIBLE TO ROUTINE SAMPLING BY PROVIDING A NON-INVASIVE WAY OF MEASURING THE TISSUE-WIDE BURDEN OF HIV OVER TIME. REVIVING THE "SHOCK AND KILL" APPROACH TO CURE HIV ANOTHER AMFAR-FUNDED STUDY WAS PUBLISHED IN NATURE COMMUNICATIONS IN JANUARY : DR. JEROME ZACK, OF UCLA, AND HIS TEAM SHARED THEIR FINDINGS ABOUT AN INNOVATIVE REFINEMENT TO THE "SHOCK AND KILL" APPROACH, WHICH SHOCKS THE VIRUS OUT OF LATENCY AND MAKES INFECTED CELLS VISIBLE TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM FOR KILLING. THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS AT SHOCK AND KILL THAT HAVE MET WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. ON THE ONE HAND, THE "SHOCK" ARM OF THE STRATEGY, KNOWN AS A LATENCY-REVERSING AGENT (LRA), HAS BEEN EITHER SAFE BUT INEFFECTIVE, OR EFFECTIVE BUT UNSAFE. IN ADDITION, THE "KILL" ARM OF THE APPROACH HAS BEEN AT BEST ONLY MODERATELY EFFECTIVE. DR. ZACK CREATED AN ANALOG OF A POTENT LRA, BRYOSTATIN, WHICH IS OTHERWISE TOXIC FOR HUMAN USE, CALLED SUW133, KNOWN TO BE ABLE TO INDUCE THE DEATH OF A SUBSET OF HIV-INFECTED CELLS. THE RESEARCHERS COMBINED SUW133 WITH A KILL AGENT IN THE FORM OF NATURAL KILLER (NK) CELLS AND TESTED IT IN HUMANIZED MICE. FOUR OUT OF THE 10 MICE TREATED WITH THE COMBINATION EXPERIENCED NO REBOUND OF HIV, PROVIDING RENEWED PROMISE THAT THE "SHOCK AND KILL" APPROACH CAN BE REFINED AND POTENTIALLY REVIVED.
