The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) informed EcoHealth Alliance, on August 19, 2022, that it has terminated subgrant R01AI110964, which is used to fund the laboratory in Wuhan, China located where the first COVID-19 cases were identified in 2019.
EcoHealth Alliance failed “to meet award terms and conditions requiring provision of records to NIH upon request,” including failing to provide the “lab notebooks and original files from the research conducted at the Wuhan lab” on bat coronaviruses.
EcoHealth Alliance still receives funding from NIH for other projects.
