Medical centers receive grant to pool information about HIV therapies

E-Health Trend Watch, December 8, 2006

Using a $2.45 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, seven U.S. medical centers will create the first electronic network to pool information about HIV therapy, according to an article in The New York Times. The goal of the project is to determine the effectiveness of therapies for patients in everyday practice compared with a hundred or so patients selected for clinical trials. The network will be the first formal way to track HIV and AIDS treatments and outcomes. The University of Alabama at Birmingham is managing the project.
