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 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 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 FOR PREVENTING, TREATING, AND CURING HIV AND OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASE THREATS AND ENHANCING THE HEALTH AND SURVIVAL OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV; - 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; AND - PUBLIC INFORMATION PROGRAMS TO BUILD AWARENESS OF THE CONTINUED THREAT HIV/AIDS POSES AND TO PROVIDE UP-TO-DATE MEDICAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND PREVENTION INFORMATION TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS, HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, AND THE PUBLIC.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A ARCHE GRANTS CONTROLLING HIV TWO ARCHE GRANTS FUNDED STUDIES TO UNDERSTAND AND POTENTIALLY ENHANCE CONTROL OF HIV, EITHER AS A RESULT OF A CURE INTERVENTION OR AS A NATURAL OCCURRENCE. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT FOR SOME INDIVIDUALS WITH ART, ADMINISTERING A COCKTAIL OF BROADLY NEUTRALIZING ANTIBODIES (BNABS) AT THE TIME OF TEMPORARILY STOPPING ARTAS PART OF A CLINICAL CURE STUDYIMPROVES CONTROL OF HIV, THOUGH THE VIRUS EVENTUALLY REAPPEARS DESPITE ABSENCE OF DETECTABLE LEVELS OF ART OR BNABS. DR. RACHEL RUTISHAUSER AND A TEAM OF CO-INVESTIGATORS FROM THE U.S. AND DENMARK, INCLUDING DRS. STEVEN DEEKS AND MICHAEL PELUSO OF THE AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCH AT UCSF, ARE INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE MECHANISMS THAT MEDIATE THIS CONTROL. DR. XU YU OF MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL, RECEIVED ADDITIONAL ARCHE FUNDING TO CONTINUE HER STUDY AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING WHY SOME PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIVSUCH AS LOREEN WILLENBERG AND AN ARGENTINIAN WOMAN KNOWN AS THE ESPERANZA PATIENTARE SEEMINGLY ABLE TO CLEAR REPLICATION-COMPETENT HIV WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF ART OR OTHER MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS. THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING SUPPORTS HIGH-RESOLUTION RESERVOIR EVALUATIONS OF 66 INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN ON ART FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS BUT WHO MAY BE CONTROLLING HIV NATURALLY, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, A CLINICAL STUDY TO DETERMINE IF TIME AND IMMUNITY HAVE LED TO CURES LIKE THOSE THAT OCCURRED IN THE TWO WOMEN MENTIONED ABOVE. TARGET GRANTS REDUCING THE HIV RESERVOIR DR. JAMES TERMINI, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, IS STUDYING ANTI-HIV BNABS, WHICH CAN CONTROL HIV REPLICATION IN THE ABSENCE OF ANTIRETROVIRALS IN ANIMAL MODELS BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SHOWN TO ERADICATE HIV RESERVOIRS. DR. TERMINI IS INVESTIGATING IF USING SUCH ANTIBODIES WITH GREATLY ENHANCED ABILITY TO PROMOTE A FORM OF ANTI-VIRUS IMMUNITY KNOWN AS ADCC, OR ANTIBODY-DEPENDENT CELLULAR CYTOTOXICITY, MIGHT OVERCOME THIS ROADBLOCK. DR. MARY ANN CHECKLEY-LUTTGE, OF CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY, IS TESTING TWO TYPES OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED NATURAL KILLER (NK) CELLS, OR INK CELLS, TO REDUCE THE HIV RESERVOIR. ONE OF THESE CELL TYPES IS GENETICALLY ENGINEERED TO INCLUDE CAR GENES. CAR T CELLS HAVE BEEN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BLOOD CANCERS. COMBINING THE INK CELLS WITH BNABS, SHE AND HER TEAM WILL ASSESS THEIR POTENCY AGAINST HIV RESERVOIRS IN TEST-TUBE STUDIES. IF THE RESEARCHERS SEE MORE THAN A 50% REDUCTION IN INTACT HIV RESERVOIR VIRUS FROM CELLS TAKEN FROM SIX PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV, THE TEAM WILL CONSIDER THE NEXT STEPIN VIVO ANIMAL AND HUMAN STUDIES. DR. YIMING YIN, OF BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, AIMS TO GENETICALLY ENGINEER B CELLS, IMBUING THEM WITH THE ABILITY TO TARGET CRITICAL PORTIONS OF THE HIV ENVELOPE. DR. YIN IS TESTING A HYPOTHESIS THAT B CELLS EXPRESSING ANTIBODIES CAPABLE OF NEUTRALIZING DIFFERENT HIV VARIANTS COULD REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE HIV RESERVOIR AND PERHAPS EVEN REPLACE ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY. BORROWING FROM CANCER THERAPIES TWO RESEARCHERS WHO RECEIVED TARGET GRANTS ARE STUDYING THE ABILITY OF ANTI-CANCER AGENTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HIV RESERVOIR'S VULNERABILITIES. DR. MICHAEL PELUSO OF UCSF IS TESTING THE IMMUNITY-STIMULATING ABILITY OF A DRUG USED TO TREAT BLADDER CANCER TO SUPPRESS HIV REBOUND IN PEOPLE AFTER TREATMENT INTERRUPTION. AND DR. ADAM SPIVAK, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH, SALT LAKE CITY, IS INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF A LEUKEMIA DRUG FOR REDUCING THE HIV RESERVOIR BY EXPLOITING ITS ABILITY TO BLOCK T CELL PROLIFERATION, A FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM OF HIV PERSISTENCE. MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH IN 2024, AMFAR AWARDED TWO MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS IN THE AMOUNT OF $180,000 EACH TO RESEARCHERS ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE GAPS IN HIV CURE RESEARCH. DR. GABRIEL DUETTE, OF THE WESTMEAD INSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH IN WESTMEAD, AUSTRALIA, IS STUDYING HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO CONTROL HIV AFTER REPEATED STRATEGIC TREATMENT INTERRUPTIONS BY ANALYZING IF THESE STOP-AND-START CYCLES LEAD TO AN INCREASE OF CD8+ KILLER T CELLS CAPABLE OF CLEARING HIV-INFECTED CELLS FROM THE BODY AND WHETHER THEY CAN INFLUENCE THE GENETIC MAKEUP OF REBOUNDING VIRUS. DR. SIMONE RICHARDSON, OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, IS USING HER AWARD TO STUDY A SEGMENT OF ANTIBODY MOLECULES KNOWN AS FC, WHICH REGULATE ANTI-HIV IMMUNE RESPONSES PRODUCED BY POTENT ANTIBODIES. DR. RICHARDSON'S STUDY COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF BOTH THERAPEUTIC AND PROTECTIVE HIV VACCINES. NAMED IN HONOR OF AMFAR'S LATE FOUNDING CHAIRMAN, THE KRIM FELLOWSHIP HAS PROVIDED CRUCIAL FUNDING FOR OUTSTANDING YOUNG RESEARCHERS SINCE 2008. TO DATE, THE PROGRAM HAS SUPPORTED 62 SCIENTISTS WITH $9.7 MILLION IN FUNDING. THIS CRITICAL INVESTMENT HAS PRODUCED REMARKABLE DIVIDENDS: EVERY DOLLAR SPENT ON THE PROGRAM HAS GENERATED ON AVERAGE $24 IN SUBSEQUENT FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. AMFAR CURE TRIAL THE RELATIVE SUCCESS OF A GROUNDBREAKING AMFAR-FUNDED CURE TRIAL PROMPTED NEW RESEARCHONE STUDY EXAMINING THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND NEEDS OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV ENROLLED IN CURE-RELATED TRIALS INVOLVING EXTENDED TREATMENT INTERRUPTIONS AND TWO STUDIES FOCUSING ON THE IMMUNITY-RELATED MECHANISMS OF POST-TREATMENT CONTROL OF THE VIRUS. THE LATTER TWO STUDIES WERE PRESENTED AT THE 2024 CONFERENCE ON RETROVIRUSES AND OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS (CROI) ALONG WITH ANOTHER STUDY, LED BY DR. TOONG SENG TAN OF THE RAGON INSTITUTE OF MGH, MIT AND HARVARD AND BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S HOSPITAL IN BOSTON. THE RESEARCHERS, INCLUDING SEVERAL AMFAR GRANTEES, CHARACTERIZED LITTLE-UNDERSTOOD SEX-SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES IN THE HIV RESERVOIR AMONG LONG-TERM ART-TREATED INDIVIDUALS BY LOOKING AT SIGNIFICANT FEATURES OF LATENTLY INFECTED CELLS. THEY NOTED A POTENTIAL SEX-BASED DIFFERENCE IN HOW THE IMMUNE RESPONSES IN TREATMENT-EXPERIENCED PEOPLE DRIVE THE EVOLUTION OF THE HIV RESERVOIRTHE RESERVOIR IN WOMEN WAS SHOWN TO HAVE FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH DEEPER LATENCY, CELLS THAT ARE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO REACTIVATION AND MORE EASILY "LOCKED." PUBLISHED RESEARCH AMFAR IS A LEADING VOICE IN THE SCIENTIFIC CONVERSATION PERTAINING TO HIV, AS EVIDENCED BY THE MANY AMFAR-FUNDED RESEARCH STUDIES PUBLISHED IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS. IN FY2024, 20 SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS RESULTED FROM AMFAR-FUNDED RESEARCH. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: THE "GENEVA PATIENT" STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION USING DONOR CELLS WITH A CCR5 DELTA32 MUTATION, WHICH RENDERS CELLS NEARLY IMPERVIOUS TO HIV INFECTION, HAS BEEN THE METHOD USED TO CURE HIV IN THE FIRST FIVE CASES. HOWEVER, THE "GENEVA PATIENT," WHOSE SUSTAINED HIV REMISSION WAS CONFIRMED IN 2024, RECEIVED "WILD TYPE" DONOR CELLS, WHICH DO NOT HAVE THE GENETIC MUTATION AND ARE THUS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE VIRUS. DESCRIBING THE CASE, RESEARCHERS SUGGESTED IT COULD OPEN UP A VERY DIFFERENT AVENUE OF CURE RESEARCH. THEY BELIEVE THAT ALLOGENEIC IMMUNITY, OR A GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST RESPONSEA KEY PART OF CERTAIN CANCER CURES FOLLOWING STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS WITH "NORMAL" DONORSMAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AND MIGHT BE REPLICATED WITHOUT REQUIRING A TRANSPLANT. THE STUDY AUTHORS INCLUDE AMFAR GRANTEES DRS. ASIER SEZ-CIRIN (PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR), MONIQUE NIJHUIS, ANNEMARIE WENSING, AND JAVIER MARTNEZ PICADO. NEW CASE OF POST-TREATMENT CONTROL A RECENTLY PUBLISHED STUDY DETAILED A NEW CASE OF POST-TREATMENT CONTROL OF HIV. DIAGNOSED IN 1998, THE MAN STARTED ART, SUPPRESSED HIS VIRAL LOAD TO UNDETECTABLE LEVELS SEVEN MONTHS LATER, AND EVENTUALLY DISCONTINUED ALL REGIMENS. EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL SPIKE SEVEN MONTHS AFTER HE STOPPED ART, HE HAS REMAINED UNDETECTABLE (BELOW 200 COPIES) FOR CLOSE TO TWO DECADES POST-TREATMENT. COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSES BY RESEARCHERS, INCLUDING PAST AMFAR GRANTEE DR. JORI SYMONS OF UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS, SUGGEST THAT POST-TREATMENT CONTROL MAY HAVE BEEN THE RESULT OF STRONG CD8 IMMUNE RESPONSES AND A VIRUS THAT SEEMED SLOW TO REPLICATE POSSIBLY DUE TO A MUTATION. TIMING IS IMPORTANT RESEARCHERS AT UCSF ANALYZED HIV DNA IN 500 BLOOD SAMPLES COLLECTED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR FROM 67 PEOPLE GIVEN ART DURING ACUTE INFECTION, AND THEN DEVELOPED MATHEMATICAL MODELS PREDICTING THE DECLINE IN HIV RESERVOIRS OVER TIME. PUBLISHED IN MEDRXIV, THE STUDY FOUND THAT TIMING WAS IMPORTANT. IN THE FIRST PHASE OF RESERVOIR DEVELOPMENT, FOR EVERY WEEK ART WAS DELAYED, THE HALF-LIFE OF INTACT HIV INCREASED BY 14 HOURS, BUT FOR EVERY WEEK ART WAS DELAYED IN THE PERIOD 524 WEEKS POST-INFECTION THE VIRUS HALF-LIFE INCREASED BY EIGHT DAYS. THE AUTHORS, INCLUDING AMFAR GRANTEE DR. STEVEN DEEKS, CONCLUDED THAT THEIR STUDY MAY HELP PERSONALIZE CURE STRATEGIES FOR A DIVERSE, GLOBAL POPULATION OF PLWH INITIATING ART AT VARYING STAGES OF HIV.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A HOW ONE CURE STRATEGY MAY LEAD TO ANOTHER PUBLISHED IN LANCET HIV AND CO-AUTHORED BY MEMBERS OF THE AMFAR-ESTABLISHED ICISTEM RESEARCH CONSORTIUM, A STUDY SOUGHT TO EXAMINE CHANGES IN HIV RESERVOIRS AND HIV ANTIBODY PRODUCTION OVER MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS OF FOLLOW-UP POST-STEM CELL TRANSPLANT, CURRENTLY THE ONLY STRATEGY THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY CURED INDIVIDUALS OF HIV. RESEARCHERS AIMED TO DEFINE MECHANISMS CONTRIBUTING TO DECREASES IN HIV RESERVOIR SIZE EVEN IN THOSE WHO RECEIVED A NORMAL DONOR TRANSPLANT (WITHOUT THE CCR5 MUTATION ASSOCIATED WITH A COMPLETE CURE) AND WERE NOT CURED. HIV RESERVOIRS IN THE BLOOD WERE MARKEDLY REDUCED IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACHIEVING FULL REPLACEMENT OF PATIENT CELLS WITH DONOR CELLS POST-TRANSPLANT. THIS OCCURRED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DONOR HAD THE CCR5 MUTATION. THIS DECREASE WAS USUALLY FOLLOWED BY DECREASES IN RESERVOIR HIV IN BONE MARROW, LYMPH NODE, SPINAL FLUID, AND INTESTINES. LEVELS OF ANTI-HIV ANTIBODIES DECLINED MUCH MORE SLOWLY. SO-CALLED "ALLOGENEIC IMMUNITY"DONOR IMMUNE CELL ATTACK ON HIV-INFECTED PATIENT CELLSAPPEARED TO BE THE MAIN MECHANISM FOR REDUCTION IN HIV RESERVOIRS AFTER AN INITIAL MASSIVE DECREASE IN RESERVOIR SIZE RELATED TO THE LARGE DOSES OF CHEMOTHERAPY REQUIRED JUST PRIOR TO THE TRANSPLANT. CREATING A COST-EFFECTIVE CURE A CANADIAN GROUP LED BY AMFAR GRANTEE DR. ERIC ARTS DEVELOPED A NEW TYPE OF LATENCY REVERSING AGENT (LRA) CALLED HLPA DEAD, HIV-LIKE PARTICLE THAT COULD ACTIVATE RESERVOIR T CELLS, THUS MAKING THEM A TARGET. THE CONCEPT WAS EXPLORED USING CELLS FROM INDIVIDUALS ON ART FOR TWO TO THREE YEARS WHO STARTED TREATMENT DURING ACUTE HIV INFECTION, OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. AS HOPED, IN THE TEST TUBE HLP INDUCED ALMOST 100-FOLD GREATER LATENCY REVERSAL THAN EXISTING AGENTS. WHEN TESTED, HLPS PROVED EQUALLY EFFECTIVE IN INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD STARTED TREATMENT LATER THAN THOSE IN THE INITIAL STUDIES, LEADING TO 100 TO 1,000-FOLD MORE HIV RELEASE THAN PREVIOUS LRAS. THE RESEARCHERS SPECULATED THAT MULTIPLE INJECTIONS OF HLP INTO MUSCLE, LIKE A VACCINATION, COULD ALSO BOOST ANTI-HIV IMMUNE RESPONSES. HLPS THAT COULD RECOGNIZE SUBTYPES OF HIV FOUND PRIMARILY IN THE WEST AS WELL AS IN AFRICA WERE DESIGNED. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDED THAT HLP SERVES AS BOTH AN LRA AS WELL AS TREATMENT THAT CAN BOOST HIV-1-SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSES, SUGGESTING THE POSSIBILITY OF A GLOBAL, COST-EFFECTIVE CURE STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE. THE STUDY WAS PUBLISHED IN EMERGING MICROBES AND INFECTIONS.
