Research Matters – Resources to Protect Research Funding 

For more than 30 years, AVAC and partners have worked to protect the infrastructure and funding that drives lifesaving HIV and biomedical research. Today, that mission is more urgent than ever. Funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) fuels innovation, drives the economy, and saves lives. Cuts to this support will make America—and the world—poorer, sicker, and less prepared for future health threats.
