The American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) is a nonprofit organization formed in September 1985 from the merger of two existing AIDS research organizations: the AIDS Medical Foundation, based in New York City, and the Los Angeles-based National AIDS Research Foundation. From those two organizations, respectively, Drs. Mathilde Krim and Michael Gottlieb became amfAR's Founding Chairmen while Elizabeth Taylor became its Founding National Chairman. In 2005, amfAR changed its name to The Foundation for AIDS Research in order to portray its international reach. The foundation continues to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS research in the United States and around the world.
