Pitt Receives $11.5 Million in Grants from the Pittsburgh Business Times  
"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded four grants totaling nearly $11.5 million to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences and Magee-Womens Research Institute. In a first of its kind collaboration, the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Vaccine Research, Drug Discovery Institute and Graduate School of Public Health received a $1 million, three-year grant to develop a test to detect HIV in the earliest stages. The second grant, in the amount of $4.5 million, will assess the safety and effectiveness of injecting a long-acting HIV drug into HIV-negative people with the aim of preventing infection."
