The Community Research Initiative, the nation's oldest community-based
drug trial organization and the model for others around the country,
did not receive funds from NIAID in response to a proposal it submitted.
Eighteen other organizations received a total of 9 million dollars in
grant monies.
Dr. Bihari of CRI called this "a serious blow to our efforts."
Mathilde Krim said, "Federally sponsored drug trials will not be available
to the majority of New York AIDS patients," as a result of this move.
CRI has asked that interested individuals express their concern, by telephone
or fax, to the following individuals. The situation is urgent.
