HIV/AIDS in 2017 In just 30 years, A previously fatal and much-feared disease has been converted to a treatable disorder with nearly normal life expectancy. Almost half of the world s infected individuals are receiving ART. 25
HIV/AIDS in 2017 But, annually new cases exceed 2 million worldwide AND ~40,000 new cases in the U.S. Flat/declining resources persist Long term co-morbidities are poorly understood No vaccine, no cure 26
NIH 27 Institutes and Centers [ICs], each with a specific research agenda, often focusing on particular diseases or body systems. Annual public research investment ~$32 billion Investment in HIV/AIDS research ~$3 billion NIH Office of AIDS Research [OAR] 27

NIH Office for AIDS Research [OAR] Roles Coordinate Convene Catalyze 34
OAR Coordinates Scientific, budgetary, legislative, and policy elements of NIH HIV/AIDS research. Strategic plan as a roadmap for allocation of funds Budget, receive, and disperse across NIH all funds for HIV/AIDS research Ensure that research dollars are invested in the highest priority areas of scientific opportunity in the global fight against HIV/AIDS 35
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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Research Data Policy What we decide over the next 3 to 5 years sets the path to 2030 52
