In mid-December 2002, the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), a small private organization in New York, held an invitation-only "think tank" to decide how best to fund AIDS research without stepping on the toes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). If the bleak budget predictions for science in the United States are confirmed, organizations such as amFAR will have an even greater task filling gaps left by the federal funding agencies.
