7.           NIH Grant Funding

In September 2007, the NIH awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program.  The project period for the grant, which is renewable annually, covers a five year period which commenced October 2007, with an expected annual award of generally between $3 and $4 million per year (approximately $19.4 million in the aggregate).  The most recent award is for the period September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011 in the amount of $4.9 million.  We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production.  We record revenue associated with the grant as the related costs and expenses are incurred and such revenue is reported as a separate line item in our statements of operations.
