| Desc | 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 THE PURSUIT OF A CURE FOR HIV. COUNTDOWN TO A CURE FOR AIDSIN 2015, AMFAR ANNOUNCED AN INVESTMENT STRATEGY OF UP TO $100 MILLION TO SUPPORT ITS COUNTDOWN TO A CURE FOR AIDS INITIATIVE, WHICH WAS AIMED AT DEVELOPING THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR A CURE BY THE END OF 2020. THE STRATEGY REPRESENTS AN UNPRECEDENTED EXPANSION OF AMFAR'S GRANT MAKING AND WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO ANY SCIENTIST OR TEAM OF INVESTIGATORS FOR ANY RESEARCH IDEA WITH THE POTENTIAL TO ADVANCE THE SEARCH FOR A CURE, AT ANY STAGE OF ITS DEVELOPMENT. IT WAS STRUCTURED TO PROVIDE SUSTAINED SUPPORT FOR A WIDE RANGE OF STUDIES THAT ADVANCE BOTH EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED IDEAS. THE STRATEGY COMPRISED THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCHESTABLISHED IN 2015 WITH A $20 MILLION GRANT OVER FIVE YEARS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, THE INSTITUTE IS THE CORNERSTONE OF AMFAR'S CURE RESEARCH. INNOVATION GRANTS THESE TWO-YEAR AWARDS OF UP TO $200,000 EACH ENABLE RESEARCHERS TO TEST INNOVATIVE IDEAS SUPPORTED BY LIMITED PRELIMINARY DATA.IMPACT GRANTSTHESE GRANTS OF UP TO $2 MILLION EACH OVER FOUR YEARS SUPPORT THE IN-DEPTH DEVELOPMENT OF CONCEPTS ALREADY UNDERPINNED BY PRELIMINARY DATA SHOWING GENUINE POTENTIAL FOR ACHIEVING A CURE.INVESTMENT GRANTSAIMED AT RECRUITING THE EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE OF SCIENTISTS FROM OUTSIDE THE FIELD OF HIV, THESE $1 MILLION GRANTS ARE AWARDED OVER A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD. GRANTEES MAY HAVE EXPERTISE IN FIELDS SUCH AS CANCER, NEUROSCIENCE, OR INFLAMMATORY DISEASE THAT CAN DIRECTLY INFORM EFFORTS TO CURE HIV. ARCHELAUNCHED 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.MAGNET GRANTSUNITING DATA SCIENTISTS WITH HIV RESEARCHERS, THESE ONE-YEAR GRANTS OF UP TO $150,000 ARE HARNESSING ADVANCES IN MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS TO FIND PATTERNS IN DATASETS THAT MAY ADVANCE OUR SEARCH FOR A CURE.SYNERGY GRANTSTHESE GRANTS CAPITALIZE ON UNFORESEEN POSSIBILITIES FOR COLLABORATION AND ENABLE US TO ADD NEW STUDY ARMS ONTO EXISTING AMFAR GRANTS.OPPORTUNITY FUNDTHIS FUNDING MECHANISM ENABLES AMFAR TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO EMERGING AND UNFORESEEN RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES.SINCE LAUNCHING THE COUNTDOWN TO A CURE FOR AIDS INITIATIVE, AMFAR HAS AWARDED 87 COUNTDOWN GRANTS TOTALING MORE THAN $50 MILLION TO SUPPORT RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY 305 SCIENTISTS WORKING AT 103 INSTITUTIONS IN 16 COUNTRIES.DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IN MARCH 2020 AMFAR TEMPORARILY PAUSED ITS ONGOING RESEARCH GRANTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE GRANT FUNDED BY THE FAIR FOUNDATION. THE PAUSE ENDED ON JULY 1, 2020, FOR A CLINICAL TRIAL AT THE AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCH IN SAN FRANCISCO, AND OCTOBER 1 FOR OTHER PAUSED RESEARCH. GRANTS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE NEWLY FORMED AMFAR FUND TO FIGHT COVID-19 (SEE BELOW) WERE NOT IMPACTED.MAGNET GRANTSIN A NEW ROUND OF GRANTS, AMFAR BROUGHT MACHINE LEARNING TO BEAR TO SEARCH FOR ANSWERS WITHIN THE VAST TROVE OF DATA HIV RESEARCHERS HAVE AMASSED OVER THE PAST DECADE. ALREADY A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE SUCCESS OF PRECISION MEDICINE, MACHINE LEARNING IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY PATTERNS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE THAT WE WOULDN'T KNOW TO LOOK FOR. IN FEBRUARY 2020, AMFAR AWARDED GRANTS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $600,000 TO RESEARCH TEAMS IN THE U.S., AUSTRALIA, AND BRAZIL. THROUGH THESE MAGNET GRANTS, WHICH UNITE DATA SCIENTISTS WITH HIV RESEARCHERS, AMFAR HOPES TO USE ADVANCES IN MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS TO FIND PATTERNS IN DATASETS THAT MAY ADVANCE OUR SEARCH FOR A CURE. GRANTEES INCLUDE DR. HILLEL HAIM, AN HIV SCIENTIST AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. DR. HAIM IS COLLABORATING WITH MACHINE LEARNING SPECIALIST DR. GUIPING HU AND NETWORK SYSTEMS ANALYST DR. GRANT BROWN TO IDENTIFY HIV MUTATION NETWORKS IN MORE THAN 350 PATIENTS. IF THE RESEARCHERS CAN PREDICT HOW HIV WILL EVOLVE IN EACH PATIENT, THEY CAN TAILOR ANTIBODY INFUSION COCKTAILS TO TARGET FUTURE HIV STRAINS AND THEREBY IMPROVE ANTIBODY-BASED CURATIVE INTERVENTIONS. THE SIZE OF THE HIV RESERVOIR CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE LIFESPAN OF A PERSON LIVING WITH HIV. THE RESERVOIR MAY EXPAND WHEN INFECTED T CELLS GROW IN NUMBER TO FIGHT INVADING PATHOGENS. IDENTIFYING HOW TO LIMIT THAT EXPANSION IN RESERVOIR CELLS WHILE MAINTAINING NORMAL EXPANSION IN UNINFECTED T CELLS WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD A CURE. DR. YA-CHI HO HAS COLLECTED VAST AMOUNTS OF DATA ON THE ACTIVITY OF OVER 133,000 T CELLS, INCLUDING RARE RESERVOIR CELLS, ACROSS SEVEN PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV. WITH THE HELP OF BIOINFORMATICIAN DR. DAVID VAN DIJK, THE TEAM IS BUILDING MACHINE-LEARNING TOOLS TO IDENTIFY MEDIATORS OF T CELL EXPANSION THAT AFFECT RESERVOIR CELLS SPECIFICALLY. HIV HAS AN IMPRESSIVE ARSENAL OF DEFENSES AGAINST THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM'S BEST EFFORTS TO DESTROY THOSE VIRUSES THAT MATTER, NAMELY THE ONES WITH AN INTACT GENETIC SEQUENCE. DR. BRAD JONES POSITS THAT HE HAS DISCOVERED YET ANOTHER MECHANISM THE VIRUS USES TO PROTECT INFECTED CELLS. COLLABORATING WITH DATA SCIENTISTS DRS. DORON BETEL AND FRIEDERIKE DUNDAR, DR. JONES AIMS TO IDENTIFY, USING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DATASETS, DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RESERVOIR CELLS THAT SURVIVED IMMUNE ATTACK VERSUS THOSE THAT WERE SUSCEPTIBLE. THEN THE RESEARCHERS WILL ANALYZE CANCER DATASETS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THOSE PROTECTIVE FACTORS IDENTIFIED IN HIV ARE ALSO PRESENT IN CANCERA DISEASE THAT MAY HAVE FDA-APPROVED DRUGS TO TARGET THOSE FACTORS. BY UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY WHERE HIV INSERTS ITSELF IN OUR GENOME, RESEARCHERS CAN MAKE INFERENCES ABOUT HOW LOCATION MAY PREDICT LATENCY. DR. SHARON LEWIN, A WORLD-RENOWNED HIV CURE RESEARCHER, HAS TEAMED UP WITH DR. DANIEL CAMERON, A FORMER SOFTWARE DEVELOPER TURNED ACADEMIC BIOINFORMATICIAN, TO DEVELOP A DATA SCIENCE MAPPING PIPELINE TO CHART THE HARD-TO-REACH AREAS OF OUR GENOME. USING OVER 600GB OF CLOUD COMPUTING MEMORY AND MINING 30 PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DATASETS, THE RESEARCHERS AIM TO GAIN A MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT INSERTION SITE MEANS FOR HIV LATENCYAND ULTIMATELY CURE. ELITE CONTROLLERS (ECS) ARE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR HIV INFECTION WITHOUT THE NEED FOR ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY. RESEARCHERS HAVE BEEN STUDYING ECS FOR DECADES BECAUSE IT IS HOPED THAT BY LEARNING HOW THEY ACHIEVE CONTROL COULD POINT THE WAY TO INDUCING CONTROL IN THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV WHO ARE NOT ECS. DR. SIMONE GONALVES AIMS TO COMBINE DATASETS FROM THOSE DECADES OF EC RESEARCH WITH HER OWN DATA ON METABOLIC ACTIVITY IN A COHORT OF ECS. BY FORMING A COLLABORATION WITH DATA SCIENTIST DR. LUIZ GUSTAVO GARDINASSI, DR. GONALVES HOPES TO GLEAN NEW INSIGHTS FROM ARCHIVED DATA INTO MECHANISMS OF VIRAL CONTROL. THIS GRANT WAS UNDERWRITTEN IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE FAIR FOUNDATION.SYNERGY GRANTSIN FEBRUARY 2020, AMFAR AWARDED $50,000 TO DR. JONATHAN LI OF THE BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S HOSPITAL IN BOSTON. IN 2019, AMFAR LAUNCHED PROJECT PTC, THE LARGEST STUDY TO DATE AIMED AT DISCOVERING THE UNDERPINNINGS OF POST-TREATMENT CONTROLVIRAL CONTROL IN THE ABSENCE OF ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY (ART). LED BY DR. LI, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING PTC RESEARCHERS, THE TEAM HAS BEEN USING CUTTING-EDGE TOOLS TO EXPLORE IMMUNE CONTROL AND VIRAL DYNAMICS. THE NEW GRANT RECRUITS THE EXPERTISE OF DR. MICHAEL SEAMAN, AN EXPERT IN HIV ANTIBODY RESPONSES AT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. THIS ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE COULD HELP DETERMINE WHETHER ANTIBODIES HELP SHAPE THE ABILITY OF PTCS TO CONTROL VIRUS ONCE THEY STOP TAKING ART. DISCOVERING WHAT LEADS TO POST-TREATMENT CONTROL IN THESE RARE INDIVIDUALS COULD HELP IN DESIGNING METHODS TO ACHIEVE DURABLE ART-FREE CONTROL IN ALL PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV. | Desc |

TREAT ASIA SCIENTISTS PRODUCED 33 PUBLICATIONS IN PEER-REVIEWED MEDICAL JOURNALS IN 2020. 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 NOW INCLUDES ANONYMOUS DATA FROM NEARLY 10,000 PATIENTS AT 21 CLINICAL SITES IN 12 COUNTRIES. 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) CONTAINS DATA FROM OVER 37,000 HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS ACROSS TEN TREAT ASIA NETWORK SITES. 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 HIV-INFECTED PATIENTS 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.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 FEBRUARY 2020, A WORKSHOP FOR CHIMERA FELLOWS WAS HELD IN BANGKOK, COVERING IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE FRAMEWORKS AND STUDY DESIGNS, INFORMATICS FOR RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THE RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH. FELLOWS ALSO MET WITH TREAT ASIA AND FACULTY TO DISCUSS THEIR PILOT RESEARCH PROPOSALS.THE COVID-19 PANDEMICIN APRIL 2020, TREAT ASIA LED THE SUBMISSION OF A LETTER TO THE REGIONAL DIRECTORS OF WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) SOUTH-EAST ASIA AND WESTERN-PACIFIC REGIONAL OFFICES. SIGNED BY 32 REGIONAL AND NATIONAL CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS, THE LETTER CALLED FOR WHO TO PLAY A GREATER ROLE IN ENSURING CONTINUITY OF HIV-RELATED HEALTHCARE SERVICES DURING THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC. TREAT ASIA IS COLLABORATING WITH THE INSTITUTE OF HIV RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (IHRI), THAI RED CROSS AIDS RESEARCH CENTER (TRC-ARC) LABORATORY, AND THE NIH VACCINE RESEARCH CENTER TO CONDUCT SARS-COV-2 SEROLOGIC ASSAYS OF THAI ADULTS TAKING AND NOT TAKING ANTIRETROVIRAL DRUGS FOR PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS AND TREATMENT OF HIV. IN SEPTEMBER 2020, MORE THAN 1,800 SAMPLES WERE SENT TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH.THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, TREAT ASIA PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS MEETINGS HELD VIRTUALLY WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION TO NAVIGATE THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19 ON CRITICAL HIV AND HEPATITIS SERVICES AND INITIATIVES.EMPOWERING YOUTH ADVOCATESIN AUGUST 2019, TREAT ASIA'S YOUTH ACATAASIA COMMUNITY FOR AIDS TREATMENT AND ADVOCACYHELD ITS SEVENTH AND FINAL WORKSHOP IN BANGKOK FOR YOUTH ACATA CLASS II MEMBERS. THE WORKSHOP PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON HIV SCIENCE AND RESEARCH, AND ASSESSED THE EFFECTIVENESS AND OUTCOMES OF THE CLASS II PROGRAM AND PARTICIPANT SMALL GRANTS PROJECTS. THREE CLASS I PARTICIPANTS SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCE AND PERSPECTIVES AS GRADUATES OF THE PROGRAM.HELPING ADOLESCENTS TRANSITION TO ADULT CAREMORE THAN ONE IN FOUR NEW HIV INFECTIONS IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC OCCUR IN YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 1524 YEARS. CONTINUING ITS COMMITMENT TO HELPING ADOLESCENTS TRANSITION TO ADULT CARE, IN 2019 TREAT ASIA INITIATED PLANS FOR A STUDY OF ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS LIVING WITH HIV. A TOTAL OF 75 HIV-DISCLOSED ADOLESCENTS WITH HIV WILL BE ENROLLED FROM THREE PARTICIPATING SITES IN THAILAND AND THE PHILIPPINES FOR INITIAL AND 12-MONTH FOLLOW-UP ASSESSMENTS. CRITICAL OUTCOMES INCLUDING VIRAL SUPPRESSION, TREATMENT ADHERENCE, PREGNANCY, AND MORTALITY WILL BE ASSESSED. ENROLLMENT IS EXPECTED IN EARLY 2021. PUBLICATIONSIN 2020 TREAT ASIA CONTINUED TO PUBLISH LAY-LANGUAGE ARTICLES ON HIV/AIDS RESEARCH, POLICY, AND COMMUNITY ISSUES FACING THE ASIA-PACIFIC AS A WHOLE. THE ARTICLES AND EDUCATIONAL PIECES APPEAR ON TREAT ASIA'S WEBSITE, WWW.TREATASIA.ORG.19TH ANNUAL NETWORK MEETINGTHE 2019 TREAT ASIA ANNUAL NETWORK MEETING WAS HELD IN OCTOBER 2019 IN BANGKOK, THAILAND, WHERE ADULT AND PEDIATRIC INVESTIGATORS, DONORS, AND PROGRAM PARTNERS GATHERED TO REVIEW PROGRESS ON THE NETWORK'S RESEARCH AGENDA, HEAR ABOUT REGIONAL HIV-RELATED POLICY PRIORITIES, AND PLAN FOR FUTURE INITIATIVES.

| Desc | PUBLIC POLICY: INFORMED BY THOROUGH RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS, AMFAR IS A HIGHLY RESPECTED ADVOCATE OF RATIONAL AND COMPASSIONATE HIV/AIDS-RELATED PUBLIC POLICY. THE FOUNDATION IS ENGAGED IN EFFORTS TO SECURE NECESSARY INCREASES IN FUNDING FOR HIV/AIDS RESEARCH AND GLOBAL HIV/AIDS PROGRAMS, EXPAND ACCESS TO TREATMENT AND CARE FOR MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS, ADVOCATE HARM REDUCTION POLICIES AIMED AT REDUCING THE SPREAD OF HIV AND HEPATITIS C (HCV) AMONG PEOPLE WHO INJECT DRUGS, AND PROTECT THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE AFFECTED BY OR VULNERABLE TO HIV/AIDS. ENDING THE DOMESTIC HIV EPIDEMICDURING THE 2019 STATE OF THE UNION, PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO END HIV TRANSMISSIONS IN THE U.S. BY 2030. THE ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC INITIATIVE (EHE) AIMS TO REDUCE HIV INFECTIONS BY 75% IN FIVE YEARS, AND BY 90% IN TEN YEARS. IN 2019, AMFAR LAUNCHED A FREE INTERACTIVE DATABASE (EHE.AMFAR.ORG) TO HELP POLICYMAKERS, PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS, ADVOCATES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS UNDERSTAND THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES ACROSS EHE JURISDICTIONS. THE EHE DATABASE INCLUDES DEMOGRAPHIC, POLICY, AND SERVICE PROVIDER INFORMATION, AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL INDICATORS.IN OCTOBER 2019, AMFAR PUBLISHED CONTEXT MATTERS: ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC AMONG LATINX, THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF INFOGRAPHICS OUTLINING DISPARITIES IN THE IMPACTS OF THE AIDS EPIDEMIC. THIS INFOGRAPHIC SHOWED HOW LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE ALONG WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S ANTI-IMMIGRANT RHETORIC AND POLICIES MAKE IT UNLIKELY THAT THE EHE WILL SUCCEED. IN FEBRUARY 2020, AMFAR PUBLISHED A SECOND INFOGRAPHIC DEPICTING THE STARK RACIAL DISPARITIES IN THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIV AND ACCESS TO CARE IN THE U.S., AND HIGHLIGHTING THE FACTORS THAT ARE HELPING TO ADDRESS THESE DISPARITIES AND THOSE THAT ARE EXACERBATING THEM. IN FEBRUARY, AMFAR VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC POLICY GREG MILLETT PENNED AN OP-ED FOR HEALIO'S INFECTIOUS DISEASE NEWS THAT ARGUED FOR HIV PREVENTION PROGRAMS TAILORED TO BLACK AMERICANS. THAT SAME MONTH, MILLETT PUBLISHED AN OP-ED IN THE HILL ON THE PROGRESS AND SETBACKS A YEAR INTO THE EHE.SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) IN 2010, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS INCLUDING PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV HAVE BENEFITED FROM EXPANDED ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE. ON THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ACA BEING SIGNED INTO LAW, IN MARCH 2020, AMFAR PUBLISHED A BROCHURE ON WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED AND WHAT COULD BE LOST DUE TO CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDERMINING THE POLICY. IN PARTICULAR, CONTEXT MATTERS: HEALTH INSURANCE IS FUNDAMENTAL TO ENDING THE HIV EPIDEMIC DREW ATTENTION TO HOW THE ACA COULD BENEFIT THE EHE INITIATIVE. THE COVID-19 PANDEMICIN MAY 2020, AMFAR RELEASED STUDY RESULTS THAT WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO QUANTITY DISPARITIES IN IMPACTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. THE STUDY REVEALED THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY BLACK COUNTIESREPRESENTING ABOUT ONE IN FIVE U.S. COUNTIESACCOUNTED FOR 52% AND 58% OF COVID-19 CASES AND DEATHS, RESPECTIVELY. IT ALSO COUNTERED THE NARRATIVE THAT UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR DISPARATE RATES OF SARS-COV-2 DIAGNOSES AMONG BLACK AMERICANS. INSTEAD, SOCIAL FACTORS SUCH AS HIGH RATES OF UNINSURED AND CROWDED HOUSEHOLDS IN BLACK COUNTIES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR GREATER RATES OF COVID-19. THE STUDY GENERATED SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION. PUBLISHED IN ANNALS OF EPIDEMIOLOGY IN JULY 2020, IT HAS BEEN CITED IN MORE THAN 100 PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE AND JAMA BY AUTHORS INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS OF THE CDC AND U.S. NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. ALSO IN JULY, A STUDY PUBLISHED BY A MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL TEAM LED BY RESEARCHERS AT THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FOUND THAT FACTORS LINKED TO STRUCTURAL RACISM PUT LATINO COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE AT HIGH RISK OF COVID-19. AMFAR'S GREG MILLETT WAS SENIOR AUTHOR ON THE STUDY. THE RESEARCHERS DETAILED CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDING CROWDED HOUSING, AIR POLLUTION AND JOBS IN THE MEATPACKING AND POULTRY INDUSTRY. THE STUDY ALSO FOUND THAT LATINO COMMUNITIES IN THE MIDWEST AND NORTHEAST WERE AT PARTICULARLY HIGH RISK OF COVID-19. THE FIRST NATIONAL ANALYSIS OF COVID DEATHS AND CASES AMONG THIS GROUP, IT CONFIRMED PREVIOUS REPORTS THAT LATINOS WERE PARTICULARLY HARD HIT BY THE VIRUS. IN AUGUST, AN AMFAR STUDY SHOWED THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY WHITE COUNTIES IN THE U.S. HAD CONSISTENTLY LOWER RATES OF COVID-19 AND HIV. RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION, STRUCTURAL RACISM, AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH WERE NOTED AS KEY FACTORS DRIVING DIAGNOSES IN NONWHITE COMMUNITIES. THE STUDY WAS PUBLISHED IN AIDS PATIENT CARE AND STDS. WITH SCHOOLS REOPENING IN SOME STATES, THE AMFAR STUDY SUGGESTED THAT COMPARATIVELY HIGHER COVID-19 DIAGNOSES IN NON-WHITE COUNTIES PLACED YOUTH AND ADULTS IN THOSE COUNTIES AT GREATER RISK FOR INFECTION.AS A COMPANION RESOURCE FOR THESE STUDIES ON DISPARITIES, AMFAR LAUNCHED A NEW DATA DASHBOARD TRACKING COVID-19 CASES AND DIAGNOSES IN U.S. COUNTIES WITH A LARGE PROPORTION OF RACIAL/ETHNIC MINORITIES.PRIOR TO COVID-19, SOUTH AFRICA FACED A WELL-DOCUMENTED EPIDEMIC OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE (GBV).

| PART X, LINE 2: | FIN 48 - INCOME TAXES AMFAR FOLLOWS GUIDANCE THAT CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND GUIDANCE ON MEASUREMENT. 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. |

| Explanation | 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. | ExplanationTxt |

| IMPACT OF COVID-19 | THE EMERGENCE AND RAPID SPREAD OF COVID-19 ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN EARLY 2020 HAS IMPACTED WORLDWIDE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND FINANCIAL MARKETS, HAD AN IMMEDIATE, SUBSTANTIAL AND SUSTAINED IMPACT ON AMFAR'S OPERATIONAL AND FUNDRAISING CAPACITY. WITH FUNDRAISING PERFORMANCE TIED IN LARGE PART TO AMFAR'S ABILITY TO ORCHESTRATE AND EXECUTE BENEFIT GALAS ACROSS THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD, THE CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN AND STRICT LIMITATIONS ON INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND CONGREGATE EVENTS BROUGHT THIS REVENUE STREAM TO A HALT ALMOST OVERNIGHT. SINCE THE SPRING OF 2020, ALL LIVE FUNDRAISING EVENTS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED, ALL NONESSENTIAL EXPENSES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED, AND AMFAR HAS BEEN DEPENDENT ON ITS FINANCIAL RESERVES. THE FOUNDATION REMAINS IN A HOLDING PATTERN UNTIL SUCH TIME AS WIDESPREAD VACCINE DISTRIBUTION HAS CONTROLLED THE PANDEMIC TO THE EXTENT THAT UNFETTERED INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL AND LARGE GATHERINGS OF PEOPLE CAN RESUME. MANAGEMENT HAS CONSIDERED THE CONSEQUENCES OF COVID AND DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY IDENTIFIED THAT WOULD AFFECT ITS ABILITY TO CONTINUE ITS MISSION TO END THE GLOBAL AIDS EPIDEMIC THROUGH INNOVATIVE RESEARCH. HOWEVER, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY AROUND THE BREADTH AND DURATION OF BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS RELATED TO COVID, AS WELL AS ITS IMPACT ON THE U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIES AND, AS SUCH, THE FOUNDATION IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT WILL HAVE A FUTURE MATERIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT ON ITS OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL CONDITION. PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN ON MAY 6, 2020, AMFAR WAS GRANTED A LOAN IN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF $1,643,364 PURSUANT TO THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM ("THE PPP") UNDER DIVISION A, TITLE 1 OF THE CARES ACT (THE "PPP LOAN"). THE PPP LOAN, WHICH WAS IN THE FORM OF A NOTE DATED MAY 1, 2020, MATURES ON MAY 6, 2022 AND BEARS INTEREST AT A RATE OF 1% PER ANNUM. THE PPP LOAN MAY BE PREPAID BY AMFAR AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MATURITY WITH NO REPAYMENT PENALTIES. FUNDS FROM THE PPP LOAN MAY ONLY BE USED FOR CERTAIN COSTS, SUCH AS PAYROLL COSTS AND OCCUPANCY EXPENSES. THE LOAN AND ACCRUED INTEREST ARE FORGIVABLE AS LONG AS THE BORROWER USES THE LOAN PROCEEDS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CARES ACT. AMFAR USED THE ENTIRE PPP LOAN FOR QUALIFYING EXPENSES AS DESCRIBED IN THE CARES ACT AND HAVE INITIATED THE PROCESS OF THE LOAN FORGIVENESS REQUEST ACCORDING TO THE TERMS OF THE PPP LOAN. AMFAR EVALUATED ITS SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR SUBSEQUENT EVENTS THROUGH MARCH 4, 2021, THE DATE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE AVAILABLE TO BE ISSUED. ON FEBRUARY 19, 2021, AMFAR WAS APPROVED FOR A SECOND PPP LOAN TOTALING $1,677,930. THE PPP LOAN MATURES IN FEBRUARY 2026, AND BEAR INTEREST AT A RATE OF 1% PER ANNUM. THE PPP LOAN MAY BE PREPAID BY AMFAR AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MATURITY WITH NO PREPAYMENT PENALTIES. FUNDS FROM THE PPP LOAN MAY ONLY BE USED FOR CERTAIN COSTS, SUCH AS PAYROLL COSTS, OCCUPANCY EXPENSES, AND CERTAIN OTHER EXPENSES. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION 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 DEVELOPING 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: | ARCHE (AMFAR RESEARCH CONSORTIUM ON HIV ERADICATION) FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AMFAR'S ARCHE-GT CONSORTIUM HAS BEEN DESIGNING AND FINE-TUNING THREE GENE THERAPY APPROACHES TO CURING HIV THAT COULD BE DELIVERED IN VIVODIRECTLY TO THE PATIENT. ONE APPROACH INVOLVES THE GENERATION OF CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (CAR) STEM CELLS THAT ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO KILL VIRUS-INFECTED CELLS. A SECOND IS TO SPUR LIVER CELLS TO PRODUCE HIV-SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES. THE THIRD IS TO DELIVER AN ENZYME THAT WOULD EDIT THE VIRUS OUT OF INFECTED CELLS. EACH OF THESE THREE TOOLS IS NOW READY TO BE TESTED IN COMBINATION. IN FEBRUARY 2020, DR. HILDEGARD BNING OF HANNOVER MEDICAL SCHOOL, GERMANY, WAS AWARDED $1.65 MILLION FOR A PRECLINICAL STUDY TO TEST THEIR EFFECTIVENESS. THE RESEARCHERS WILL START BY ADMINISTERING THE CAR STEM CELL TREATMENT IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE TWO-YEAR STUDY. TREATMENT WITH THE OTHER TWO INTERVENTIONS WILL FOLLOW IN THE SECOND YEAR. AT THE END OF THIS PROOF-OF-PRINCIPLE STUDY, RESEARCHERS WILL DETERMINE THE ACTIVITY OF EACH OF THE INTERVENTIONS ALONE AND IN COMBINATION, AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE PERSISTENCE OF THE VIRUS. THIS COMPLEX GENE THERAPY STUDY WILL PROVIDE VITAL SIGNPOSTS INFORMING FURTHER CURATIVE GENE THERAPY STUDIES. MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS IN DECEMBER 2019, AMFAR ANNOUNCED THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 2019 MATHILDE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS IN BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH: DR. MAOLIN LU OF YALE UNIVERSITY IN NEW HAVEN, CT, AND DR. SHAHEED ABDULHAQQ, OF OREGON HEALTH AND SCIENCE UNIVERSITY IN PORTLAND, OR. THE KRIM FELLOWSHIPS SUPPORT BRIGHT YOUNG SCIENTISTS ADVANCING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO HIV/AIDS. EACH FELLOW IS AWARDED APPROXIMATELY $150,000 OVER TWO YEARS. COVID-19 GRANTS EXPANDING ITS EFFORTS TO INCLUDE RESEARCH ON THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS, IN APRIL 2020 AMFAR ESTABLISHED THE AMFAR FUND TO FIGHT COVID-19, ANNOUNCING ITS FIRST COVID GRANTS IN JULY. A COMMON AND OFTEN DEADLY CONSEQUENCE OF ADVANCED COVID-19 DISEASE IS ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY. CELLS IN THE KIDNEY EXPRESS THE ACE2 PROTEIN, WHICH SERVES AS A RECEPTOR FOR THE VIRUS AND MAY UNDERLIE THE KIDNEY DAMAGE. DR. MATTHIAS KRETZLER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR, WAS AWARDED $155,650 TO USE A CLEVER TECHNIQUE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS IN THE KIDNEY OF THOSE WITH COVID-19. BY COMPARING PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTI-INFLAMMATORY TREATMENT TO THOSE WHO WERE NOT, DR. KRETZLER AIMED TO DEVELOP A TOOL TO PREDICT WHO WOULD MOST BENEFIT FROM THIS KIND OF TREATMENT. A SECOND GRANT OF $192,000 WAS AWARDED TO DR. DANIEL KAUFMANN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTREAL FOR A STUDY OF ANTIBODY RESPONSES TO COVID-19. DR. KAUFMANN WAS ABLE TO TAP INTO THE QUEBEC COVID-19 BIOBANK, ESTABLISHED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC TO COLLECT BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES FROM PATIENTS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THESE BANKED SAMPLES, COLLECTED FROM THE TIME OF ADMISSION THROUGH SEVERAL MONTHS OF FOLLOW-UP, ALLOWED DR. KAUFMANN AND HIS TEAM TO ANSWER WHY SOME PEOPLE DEVELOP ANTIBODIES AND OTHERS DO NOT, HOW WE CAN PREDICT WHETHER THOSE ANTIBODIES PROTECT AGAINST REINFECTION, AND HOW LONG THE PROTECTION WILL LAST. THE RESULTS WILL PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION TO INFORM THE DESIGN OF VACCINES. 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 FY2020, 80 SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS RESULTED FROM AMFAR-FUNDED RESEARCH. EXAMPLES INCLUDE: SEEING IS BELIEVING: NUCLEAR IMAGING OF HIV PERSISTENCE A KEY BARRIER TO HIV ERADICATION IS THE PRESENCE OF LATENTLY INFECTED RESERVOIR CELLS THAT PERSIST DESPITE ART. THE ABILITY TO FIND HOST TISSUE CELLS THAT ENABLE HIV TO EVADE DISCOVERY BY ROUTINE SAMPLING MAY HELP RESEARCHERS TO IDENTIFY WHICH TISSUES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIV RESURGENCE FOLLOWING TREATMENT INTERRUPTION AS PART OF A CURE INTERVENTION. DR. TIMOTHY HENRICH OF THE AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCH REPORTED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW TECHNIQUE USING PET SCANNING TO VISUALIZE THE PLACES WHERE HIV RESIDES. IN THE JOURNAL FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY, DR. HENRICH AND COLLEAGUES OUTLINED A VALUABLE TECHNIQUE USING THE ONLY EXPLORER SCANNER CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL IN THE U.S. THE MACHINE IS ABLE TO PRODUCE IMAGES THAT ARE APPROXIMATELY 40 TIMES MORE SENSITIVE THAN CURRENT TECHNOLOGY IN A FRACTION OF THE TIME. ATTACKING LATENT HIV WITH CONVERTIBLE CAR-T CELLS, A HIGHLY ADAPTABLE KILLING PLATFORM IN THE JOURNAL CELL, MEMBERS OF THE AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCH REPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW TYPE OF CAR T CELLONE THAT CAN KEEP UP WITH HIV'S EVER MUTATING ENVELOPE. CONVERTIBLE CAR T CELLS CAN TARGET MULTIPLE STRAINS OF HIV WITHOUT THE NEED TO MANUFACTURE AS MANY DIFFERENT CAR T CELLS AS THERE ARE STRAINS. HARNESSING THE ABILITY OF THIS NEW PLATFORM TO SELECTIVELY KILL HIV-INFECTED CELLS, RESEARCHERS MAY BE ABLE TO DEVELOP MORE EFFECTIVE CURE STRATEGIES IN WHICH LATENCY-REVERSING AGENTS REACTIVATE LATENT HIV. HIV CURE SUMMIT IN NOVEMBER 2019, AMFAR HELD ITS SIXTH ANNUAL HIV CURE SUMMIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO (UCSF), WHERE THE AMFAR INSTITUTE FOR HIV CURE RESEARCH IS BASED. LEADING AMFAR-FUNDED CURE RESEARCHERS DETAILED THEIR PROGRESS AND DISCUSSED THE SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGES THAT CONTINUE TO STAND IN THE WAY OF A CURE. DR. RACHEL RUTISHAUSER, FOR EXAMPLE, OUTLINED A PIONEERING CLINICAL TRIAL AT THE INSTITUTE THAT WILL TEST A COMBINATION APPROACH TO CURING HIV. DR. ROWENA JOHNSTON, AMFAR VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, DISCUSSED "SOCIETIES OF RESEARCH," DISPLAYING A VISUALIZATION TOOL TO SHOW HOW IN RECENT YEARS HIV RESEARCHERS ARE COLLABORATING MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. SPEAKING WITH DR. JOHNSTON, LOREEN WILLENBERG, THE "SAN FRANCISCO PATIENT," SHARED HER INSPIRING PERSONAL STORY, FROM HER HIV DIAGNOSIS IN 1992 TO RECOGNITION BY HER DOCTORS THAT SHE WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO MAINTAIN UNDETECTABLE VIRAL LEVELS WITHOUT EVER TAKING ART, TO BEING AN INVALUABLE PARTICIPANT IN HIV STUDIES FOR OVER A DECADE. DISCUSSING POST-TREATMENT CONTROL OF HIV, DRS. PETER HUNT OF UCSF AND MARCELLA FLORES OF AMFAR OUTLINED EFFORTS TO STUDY THE RARE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ABLE TO NATURALLY CONTROL THEIR VIRUS AFTER STOPPING ART. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE ABLE TO DO SO COULD HELP RESEARCHERS INDUCE POST-TREATMENT CONTROL IN OTHER PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV. THE SUMMIT ALSO FEATURED A RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE AMFAR INSTITUTE AND OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4E OTHER PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | AMFAR'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC POLICY BRIAN HONERMANN PRESENTED AT A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY WORKSHOP THAT FOCUSED ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF DATA TOOLS TO DRIVE IMPACTFUL CHANGE IN THE HIV RESPONSE. AND POLICY ASSOCIATE JENNIFER SHERWOOD GAVE A SYMPOSIUM TALK ON WHETHER CURRENT APPROACHES TO COLLECTING DATA CAPTURE THE FULL IMPACT OF HIV ON WOMEN. THE CONFERENCE FEATURED MANY TALKS ON THE INTERSECTION OF HIV AND COVID-19. GREG MILLETT JOINED MERCK VICE PRESIDENT OF SOCIAL INNOVATION CARMEN VILLAR FOR A "FIRESIDE CHAT" TO DISCUSS A PAPER MILLETT CO-AUTHORED ASSESSING THE DIFFERENTIAL IMPACTS OF COVID-19 ON BLACK COMMUNITIES. MILLETT ALSO JOINED CHRIS COLLINS OF FRIENDS OF THE GLOBAL FIGHT AND OTHERS IN A SESSION TITLED HOW DID THEY DO IT? WHAT SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITIES CAN TEACH ALL OF US ABOUT MAKING DRAMATIC PROGRESS AGAINST HIV EPIDEMICS AND WHAT THIS MEANS IN THE AGE OF COVID. THE SESSION WAS A ONE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP TO A REPORT CO-AUTHORED BY AMFAR, AVAC AND FRIENDS OF THE GLOBAL FIGHT TITLED TRANSLATING PROGRESS INTO SUCCESS TO END THE AIDS EPIDEMIC. THE GMT INITIATIVE THE TWO IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE STUDIES BEING SUPPORTED BY AMFAR'S GMT INITIATIVE CAME TO AN END IN 2019, BRINGING THE INITIATIVE TO A CLOSE. THE THREE-YEAR PROJECTS, IN MYANMAR AND THAILAND, WERE AIMED AT DETERMINING THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS OF ENGAGING GAY MEN, OTHER MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM), AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS (COLLECTIVELY, GMT) AT RISK OF INFECTION OR ALREADY LIVING WITH HIV. THE GOAL WAS TO HELP THOSE WHO WERE HIV-NEGATIVE STAY UNINFECTED, AND HELP HIV-POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS TO BEGIN AND REMAIN ON TREATMENT. A THIRD PROJECT, IN PERU, ENDED IN 2018. |
