Government Grants [Text Block] | 3. Government Grants NIH Grants In September 2007, the NIH awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production. The original project period for the grant covered a five year period ending in August 2012, but was extended for an additional one year period. The aggregate award totaled $20.4 million, with approximately $1.6 million remaining and available for use as of December 31, 2012. In September 2012, the NIH awarded us an additional grant of $1.9 million to support development of versions of our HIV/AIDS vaccines to address the clade C subtype of the HIV virus prevalent in the developing world. The project period of this grant covers a one year period ending in August 2013. There is approximately $1.4 million from this grant remaining and available for use as of December 31, 2012. We record revenue associated with these grants as the related costs and expenses are incurred and such revenue is reported as a separate line item in our statements of operations. During 2012, 2011, and 2010, we recorded $2,657,327, $4,899,885, and $4,940,778, respectively, of revenue associated with these grants. QTDP Grant In November 2010, we were awarded a one-time grant of $244,479 pursuant to the Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project (QTDP) program enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The QTDP program was intended to provide incentive to smaller companies who are focusing on innovative therapeutic discoveries. We received the full amount of the grant during 2010, which is recorded as revenue for 2010 in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction. + References No definition available. + Details
