Well according to Dr. Keller
MP1 is not as stringent compliance as most HIV/AIDS meds, missing a dose is not
really a problem. MP1 is also just one
capsule four times a day. We are
working on making it a BID or once Daily dose.
But I have to admit I've gotten to the point that I don't think my HIV
research will continue due too lack of funding. Every charity I've written has denied my requests for
funding. Even our own community seems
unwilling to help. I have sent 1897
e-mails and all have been denied.
Bellow I have included copied of the responded to the few Charities that
were goodly enough to even write me back.
I really wonder if the world wants a cure to be found. If you like please feel free to contact Dr.
Keller directly.
In regard to your request for funding, I can only repeat that
Lilly weighs a number of factors in
all of our funding decisions, because every decision may save or improve lives,
but also uses resources that may be
essential for other ongoing projects that have similar hopes. Considering our
resources and research priorities, we are not currently in a position to fund your research.

Your e-mail to our executive director was forwarded to me.
Although you
don't come out and make a funding request, I assume that is
what you
were seeking. I'm sorry to let you know that our HIV funding
guidelines
specifically exclude biomedical research. We concentrate our
limited HIV
funding to prevention within the behavioral change models and
national
advocacy.

that you cannot offer him any assistance or any more advice until then.
Again, good job.

Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS is a fundraising
program of Broadway Cares/Equity
Fights AIDS, and we therefore distribute the funds we raise through their grantmaking process. This process (and our mission) is focused
primarily on funding AIDS organizations
that provide direct services to those living with HIV/AIDS. Projects typically
funded include those providing case management, food, housing, transportation, emergency financial assistance, emotional
support and non-reimbursable and emergency
medical expenses. In some cases, BC/EFA will also fund advocacy
organizations whose public policy
work has a direct effect on the scores of AIDS service organizations we assist.
BC/EFA does not fund publications,
travel or registration for conferences, reimbursable or ongoing medical expenses, capital investment, educational services
or medical research.
Unfortunately, we are not in a position to fund your research,
but we wish you the best in your
endeavour.

Thank you for your note and the information on your
research. Unfortunately we are not a foundation and thus cannot be helpful to
you. I might suggest looking at the
Foundation Center's publication on
funders of HIV/AIDs for potential foundations to fund your work.

Executive Office of Bill
Gates
Thank you for contacting the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation. We fully concur with your selection
of HIV/AIDS research as a priority in efforts to improve the health of populations in developing countries. The Foundation has made a major commitment
to investing in this area through
support to a variety of activities ranging from HIV vaccine development to youth prevention
activities. In addition to the
Foundation's investments in these
existing initiatives, we are in the process of evaluating our HIV/AIDS strategy
so that we make sure our efforts
keep pace with an ever evolving epidemic.
We expect to complete this
process soon, but in the meantime will not be making new commitments in this area. Therefore, the
Foundation is unable to fund the proposed program.

I just wanted to personally thank you for your endeavors. Your mail to UNAIDS has been forwarded to me for a reply. I regret to
have to inform you that UNAIDS is not set up to do or to support research, for more information about UNAIDS please
visit our homepage at www.unaids.org.
I therefore have forwarded your request to colleagues at the WHO. To be honest
I don't believe American AIDS charities really want a cure for this disease to
be found. But I again wanted to solemnly and wholeheartedly thank you for
your time, consideration, and help
in this fight.

What you have read is just a
small list of the litterly thousands of rejections that I have recieved in
request for grant monies in the past month.
But I honestly think that Calle Almedal of UNAIDS summed it up best,
"I don't believe American AIDS charities really want a cure..." If you like I can forward a copy of research
and resume for your consideration and review.
