Government Grants [Abstract] |
Government Grants [Text Block] | 5. Government 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 aggregate award (including subsequent amendments) totaled $20.4 million, and there is $700,153 of unrecognized grant funds remaining and available for use as of December 31, 2013. In September 2012, the NIH awarded us a 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. All funding pursuant to this grant has been utilized as of December 31, 2013. In July 2013, the NIH awarded us a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant entitled “Enhancing Protective Antibody Responses for a GM-CSF Adjuvanted HIV Vaccine.” The grant award of approximately $277,000 is for the first year of a two year project period beginning August 1, 2013, and there is $122,127 of unrecognized grant funds remaining and available for use as of December 31, 2013. 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 2013, 2012, and 2011, we recorded $2,417,550, $2,657,327, and $4,899,885, respectively, of revenue associated with these grants.

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. 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
