5 . | Grants and Collaboration Revenue
Government Grants and Contracts We receive payments from government entities under our grants and contracts with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in support of certain of our vaccine research and development efforts. We record revenue associated with government grants and contracts as the reimbursable costs are incurred. During 2017, 2016, and 2015, we recorded $980,270, $828,918, and $428,081, respectively, of revenue associated with these grants and contracts. As of December 31, 2017, there is an aggregate of $481,695 in remaining grant funds available for use during 2018. Collaboration Revenue In March 2017, we entered into a clinical trial collaboration agreement with American Gene Technologies International, Inc. (“AGT”) whereby AGT intends to conduct a phase 1 human clinical trial investigating our combined technologies as a functional cure for HIV infection. In connection with the agreement, AGT paid to us a non-refundable fee of $95,000, which we recorded as collaboration revenue during 2017.

- 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
