NIH FY '91 Extramural HIV Funding
AIDS/HIV research at NIH is not segmented by institute, rather it is managed cooperatively through
the Office of the NIH Director (OD). Elements of the AIDS research programs include a director, a national
advisory council, and an executive office for staff support (The Office of AIDS Research, or OAR). It is
this office which oversees all extramural HIV funding through grants and contracts.
NIH extramural funding is directed primarily toward areas of research. Major areas of research would
fall into broad categories of: treatment, vaccine, epidemiology, and pathogenesis. Funded research projects could include: immunology, candidate vaccine development and testing, animal retroviral models, treatment of opportunistic infections, behavioral research, etiology or cofactors, epidemiological studies, incidence
studies, development or evaluation of blood tests, virology, development or evaluation of therapeutics,
perinatal transmission, psychosocial factors, database development, structural biology, and clinical trials.
Such trials include a diversity of groups from pediatrics and women to gay or bisexual men and IV drug users.
Following is an explanation of FY '91 monies appropriated for NIH AIDS/HIV research grants.
