The Institute of Human Virology at University of Maryland School of Medicine has received a five-year, $24.5 million grant to help fight AIDS in Africa.
Through the grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Baltimore researchers will focus on treatment programs that have long-term potential to address Botswana’s HIV/AIDS epidemic. The grant is part of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a $48 billion initiative launched in 2004 to target global infectious diseases.
