Original Note:
NIH grant document "Understanding Risk Bat Coronavirus Emergence Grant Notice" states that no NIH funds can be used to support gain of function research. https://www.scribd.com/document/523718679/Understanding-Risk-Bat-Coronavirus-Emergence-Grant-Notice (Pg 189) https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not-od-15-011.html https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-director/statements/statement-misinformation-about-nih-support-specific-gain-function-research There is unclear NIH policy on how intermediaries and subcontractors comply with "gain of function". https://www.factcheck.org/2021/05/the-wuhan-lab-and-the-gain-of-function-disagreement/ https://healthfeedback.org/what-is-known-about-the-claims-that-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology-conducted-research-to-bioengineer-bat-coronaviruses/
