People with HIV/AIDS can now experience an almost normal life expectancy if antiretrovirals are started promptly and continued for life.

36 THE NIH DIRECTOR Statement on NIH Efforts to Focus Research to End the AIDS Pandemic August 12, 2015 Extraordinary progress has been made in HIV/AIDS research over the last 34 years, transforming what was once a terrifying and almost inevitably fatal disease into a treatable disorder. People with HIV/AIDS can now experience an almost normal life expectancy if antiretrovirals are started promptly and continued for life. But the disease remains a significant public health concern, with approximately 50,000 new infections per year in the United States and two million new infections worldwide. The global human and economic costs continue to be staggering. 36

43 HOW HAS FEDERAL RESEARCH ON AIDS/HIV DISEASE CONTRIBUTED TO OTHER FIELDS? 1990 Office of Technology Assessment U.S. Congress Requested by: House Committee on Government Operations Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations survey of leading multidisciplinary scientists documented contribution of AIDS/HIV research to other research fields 43

44 Cross Cutting Outcomes from Federal Research for HIV/AIDS significant benefits from AIDS/HIV research have flowed to a wide variety of fields ranging from the basic sciences to clinical applications and public health 44

45 Newly Emergent Research Opportunities for HIV/AIDS Compelling new ideas about treatment that translate to prevention New optimism about research towards a cure and sustained viral remission Trans-disciplinary discoveries in human immunology, genomics, virology, & structural biology raise expectations for a successful vaccine strategy 45

46 OAR version 3.0 Translate the urgency to reach 90/90/90 goals Coordinate an NIH-wide acceleration from basic science discovery to translation and implementation Where are the roadblocks? Change the trajectory of the epidemic by discovering approaches to simple, safe and sustainable strategies for prevention, treatment, and cure. 46

47 OAR version 3.0 Provide incentives for transdisciplinary collaborations & partnerships Meet the challenges of HIV/AIDS combined with comorbidities, coinfections, & complications Align investments with the demographics of the epidemic Focus, prioritize, and follow the science Be prepared for unexpected discovery 47

48 Preparing OAR for the Future Expanded role to prevent new infections, develop strategies for sustained viral suppression, and achieve an AIDS-free generation Continue to conduct portfolio reviews and funding plans Resources will be reallocated to high priority projects Coordinate and leverage interdepartment, interagency, and non-government players to expand HIV research and avoid redundancy 48

49 Action Items Coordinate an NIH-Wide acceleration from discovery to translation and implementation Where are the roadblocks? Change the trajectory of the epidemic by discovering approaches to simple, safe and sustainable strategies for prevention, treatment, and cure Can we apply lessons from international to domestic scenarios? 49 49

50 Action Items Think Globally! Break down barriers within and across agencies. Translate the urgency to reach 90/90/90 UNAIDS goals by challenging the research community to accelerate research & development Support incentives for developing partnerships through novel mechanisms to meet the challenges of HIV/AIDS across the life span combined with comorbidities, coinfections, & complications research 50

51 Defining A Sustainable HIV Response Sustainability is not only about funding A sustainable response can only be achieved when the epidemic is under control and no longer expanding How can we achieve epidemic control? Right things Right places Right now Right way 51
