- Mission [1]
- The goal of NIH research is to acquire new knowledge to help prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat disease and disability,
from the rarest genetic disorder to the common cold. The NIH mission is to uncover new knowledge that will lead to better
health for everyone. All of the NIH Institutes and Centers sponsor AIDS research. The OARAC is the only council with advisory
responsibilities applicable to the entire NIH AIDS research program. Therefore, it is essential to the coordination of the
NIH AIDS scientific effort and research direction of the agency’s AIDS programs. At each OARAC meeting, the Council receives
an update on the activities of the five Working Groups. These Working Groups are sponsored under the auspices of the OARAC
and are responsible for the development of state-of-the-science federal guidelines for the medical management of HIV disease
and its associated coinfections and opportunistic infections in adults, adolescents, and children.
