The 12th International Symposium on NeuroVirology and 2013 Conference on HIV in the Nervous System are being supported by generous contributions from numerous institutions and companies. This page will be updated as more sponsors provide their support for the meetings.

	The 2013 Conference is supported by a Public Health Service grant titled “Conference on HIV and the Nervous System” (5R13MH092200-04, Janice Clements, Ph.D., Principal Investigator). This grant is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA).
	The Journal of NeuroVirology (www.jneurovirol.com) is the official journal of the ISNV. This bi-monthly journal provides a unique platform for the publication of high-quality basic science and clinical studies on the molecular biology and pathogenesis of viral infections of the nervous system, and for reporting on the development of novel therapeutic strategies using neurotropic viral vectors. The Journal also emphasizes publication of non-viral infections that affect the central nervous system. The Journal publishes original research articles, reviews, case reports, coverage of various scientific meetings, along with supplements and special issues on selected subjects.
	The Department of Microbiology and Immunology (www.drexelmed.edu/microimmuno) in the Drexel University College of Medicine (Philadelphia, PA, USA) is involved on an annual basis in the education of more than 265 medical students, 60 graduate students, and more than 20 post-graduate scientists in training. Utilizing basic, translational, and clinical research strategies and cutting edge technologies, the faculty (totaling more than 90) are actively engaged in research and education in the areas of virology, malarial, bacterial, and fungal pathogenesis; emerging infectious disease and biodefense; opportunistic infections; drug discovery and development; immunology and vaccine science; molecular and human genetics; biomarkers and diagnostics; neuro-infectious disease; and cancer biology.
	The Institute for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Disease (www.drexelmed.edu/immid) in the Drexel University College of Medicine (Philadelphia, PA, USA) is a collaborative inter-campus enterprise focused on research, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and clinical management of infectious, inflammatory, oncogenic, metabolic and genetic disorders. The Institute facilitates the development and expansion of 14 Research Centers of Excellence (RCEs) and the training and development of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, residents, and junior faculty within an organized framework to guide the development of inter-campus, inter-college, and inter-unit research initiatives across the University as well as with other academic, industrial, and governmental organizations at the regional, national, and international levels.
	The Department of Neuroscience in the Temple University School of Medicine (Philadelphia, PA, USA) is a state-of-the-art multidisciplinary research and education entity. Our mission is to foster a collaborative environment that enables superior research leading to an understanding of the mechanisms of disorders of the central nervous system. This leads to novel therapeutic strategies directed against relevant diseases. The variety and intensity of approaches provide an integrative graduate and postgraduate program that trains first-rate scientists in the field of neuroscience who will successfully contribute new and innovative ideas and technologies well into the future.
