The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded $800,000 to the International AIDS Society (IAS) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) on July 7, 2025, to support the 13th IAS Conference on HIV Science. The conference will convene approximately 6,000 international participants in Kigali, Rwanda, from July 14-17, 2025, serving as a global platform for advancing HIV research and catalyzing collaborative action across the scientific community. The conference will address critical research areas including vaccine development, pathogenesis, transmission, co-morbidities, implementation research, and potential cure strategies, with a particular focus on challenges and opportunities in regions most affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Through this project grant, IAS will facilitate knowledge exchange and forge interdisciplinary collaborations among scientists, clinicians, community leaders, and policymakers from diverse backgrounds and regions. The award supports the organization's core mission of convening international conferences that drive scientific discovery and innovation in HIV prevention and treatment. The grant period extends through June 30, 2026, allowing for comprehensive conference execution and outcomes reporting.

With an expected attendance of 6,000 participants, IT will provide a powerful platform to catalyse action based on the latest cutting-edge HIV research. The location of IAS 2025 will allow for a much-needed focus on challenges and opportunities in some of the world's most HIV- affected regions while offering insights gained from many other regions. IAS 2025 will be decisive to advance the research agenda across the full spectrum of relevant fields of inquiry, and forge the all-important collaborations that are required for success.
