AIDS Research Alliance of America (ARAA) is a national community-based 501(c)3 non-profit medical research institution that seeks to develop a cure for HIV/AIDS, medical strategies to prevent new HIV infections and better treatments for people living with HIV/AIDS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CenterWatch Research Center Profile Pages )〕 Since 1989, ARAA has conducted over 150 clinical and pre-clinical studies,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CenterWatch )〕 ranging from alternative therapies〔 〕 that employ a complementary approach to HIV care to the first in-human HIV vaccine trial. AIDS Research Alliance is responsible for "fast-tracking" to market half of today's anti-HIV treatments. ==History== In 1989, a group of Southern California physicians and philanthropists, led by Paul Joseph Rothman, M.D. and Matthew Rushton, Hollywood film producer of ''Mrs. Doubtfire'', founded ''Search Alliance'' to speed the discovery and development of effective treatments against HIV and its complications. Working with physicians who were experimenting with potential treatments in their private practices, the organization pooled data and identified promising experimental regimens. The staff designed the studies, coordinated the data collection of Alliance physicians, and analyzed and published the results. In 1995, Search Alliance changed its name to AIDS Research Alliance of America and centralized all research activities in one licensed facility based in Los Angeles.〔 This allowed ARAA to identify and manage scientific, clinical and organizational strategies with a staff of dedicated research professionals, while maintaining affiliations with physicians, academics and scientists in research institutions around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anorectal Microbicide Project – Rectal Health Behaviors & Microbicide Acceptability. consent form; National Institutes of Health June 2006 )〕 In 2009, ARAA relocated from West Hollywood, where it had been located for 14 years, to a larger research facility in downtown Los Angeles.〔(Research space: AIDS Research Alliance has leased office space at the California Professional Center building. Los Angeles Business Journal 12/01/08 )〕 As a community-based organization, ARAA serves as a bridge between communities at risk of HIV and government-funded research. It collaborates with government-sponsored researchers and pharmaceutical companies, but also advocates for and conducts research that is not driven by the demand for profitability.〔Trials By Fire. Williams, S; POZ No. 12, P. 56; (02/96-03/96)〕 ARAA has been licensed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a drug to combat HIV - prostratin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Federal Register 2000: 65 FR 79873 Prospective Grant of Exclusive License: Treatment of HIV )〕 Carolyn H.
