Collaborating for a Cure

Launched 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. To date, amfAR has awarded 53 ARCHE grants, totaling close to $15 million.
“amfAR’s ARCHE program is continuing its tradition of pinpointing the important outstanding questions in research and targeting funding to those researchers who can answer them, wherever they are in the world,” says Dr. Rowena Johnston, amfAR’s vice president and director of research. “We are tremendously excited by the findings these grants could yield and confident they will open a number of new pathways to a cure.”

“This project is a clear example of the power of the ARCHE mechanism
of funding to initiate, maintain and extend collaborations,
and rapidly move research questions forward.”
