New York has awarded $2.7 million in grants to finance 15 AIDS research projects.

Associated Press - January 19, 1986


ALBANY, Jan. 19 - The grants, announced Saturday by Governor Cuomo, raise the total of state funds allocated for research on AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, since 1983 to $7.7 million.

The studies, to be carried out at medical centers in the New York City area and in Syracuse, are to be coordinated with federally financed research.

New York State leads the nation in AIDS cases, with 5,600 victims reported since 1981. A little more than half have died.

In his proposed budget for 1986-87, Mr. Cuomo seeks to double state spending on AIDS to $9.5 million. The money would be used for research, community services and education.
