To all interested parties,
My name is Nelson Karp, MD and I am an HIV/Aids researcher who works on the development of drugs and vaccines for patients.
I have numerous published patents:http://www.endhivtoday.org/united-states.html
We are at a point in our research that funding is required for the USPTO applications and to further both the research and the submission of the patents to potential drug manufacturers.
This is an area in which I have no expertise and am hoping to find some information and/or someone who has experience in this field.
Thank you.
Feel free to contact me anytime
Nelson - a somewhat broad question - but one that can be answered 'in parts' - so you may get quite a few responses in this thread. I would 'start' by suggesting that, despite your lack of experience in grant writing, you are best to consider the nature and scope of your team initially. It may well not be a good idea to put yourself forward as Chief Investigator (CI) or Principle Investigator (PI). Grant proposal reviewers need to assess the ability of the investigators in the research team to undertake the research. Therefore, proposals require some information about the research team (e.g. name, qualifications, employment position) as a minimum. In some instances (e.g. NHMRC grants), a short biography (research track record) and publications list are necessary for each investigator. All authors on the research team should provide intellectual capital to the research project in a 'ranked order'; that is, they must actively participate in the project and contribute to the generation of knowledge. Following some unfortunate episodes of ‘honorary authorship’ to persons in authority who provided no academic input to the research and related publications, there are now guidelines on authorship, sponsorship and accountability, issued by, among others, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (Halperin et al. 2005), and Universities Australia http://www.universitiesaustralia.edu.au/. These types of resources may well assist in working through the grant process
Dear Dr. Karp,
Greetings. My former PI, while I was an undergrad, Dr. José Lasalde-Dominicci is involved in this type of research. Please try contacting him directly.

There is also a post-doctoral fellow who works in his lab, Manuel Delgado-Vélez, PhD, whom you can also try to contact.
I have a herbal based concoction that has been patented in USA can this as well help?
Dear Dr Karp
I have been doing clinical research focusing on micro nutrients and HIV/AIDS progression in Kenya. We can collaborate in your area of research
