Note: Beginning with Fall 2016, The Basic Science program has been combined into the Mentored Scientist Award mechanism - which now has three scientific priority areas for funding: Basic Science, Clinical/ Translational/ Epidemiological/ Behavioral, and Implementation Science.
Below are the awards made under the Basic Science program from 1994 to 2016.

SAHA Induced Mechanism of HIV Reactivation from Latency
SAHA Induced Mechanism of HIV Reactivation from Latency
Abstract
Despite heroic efforts and better highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV remains a lifelong infection that interferes with productivity, decreases lifespan, and is ultimately fatal. Wide-ranging vaccine trials have failed. Thus, this is an opportune time to turn to the persistent infection, and develop new therapies to purge the reservoir of HIV from the infected host.

Do HIV Neutralizing Antibodies Recognize Inflammatory-mimetic Modifications of the HIV gp41 MPR?
Do HIV Neutralizing Antibodies Recognize Inflammatory-mimetic Modifications of the HIV gp41 MPR?
Abstract
Two broadly neutralizing HIV monoclonal antibodies (mAB; 2F5 and 4E10) that bind to the membrane external proximal region (MPR) of gp41 were isolated from patient material but scientist have been unable to identify immunogens that induce broadly neutralizing antibodies to MPR in mice, rabbits or primates. We think they failed because they used the wrong epitopes as immunogens. We hypothesize that post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation of MPR are critical to the induction of neutralizing antibodies against MPR. Post-translational modifications (e.g.
