UBC professor Dr. Julio Montaner has been awarded a $2.5 million research award over five years from the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to support his continued research on B.C.’s Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV/AIDS) initiative.
Montaner was an inaugural recipient of NIDA’s Avant-Garde Award Program for HIV/AIDS research in 2008, which provided $2.5 million over five years to support research for STOP HIV/AIDS’s pilot project.
The new research award will support further studies that will lead to new avenues for prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
