The National Institutes of Health has doled out nearly $46 million in taxpayer funds to 100 Chinese institutions in the form of subgrants since fiscal year 2012, federal data shows.
27 of the Chinese organizations, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology, received funds from Dr. Anthony Fauci's NIH subagency to perform research on infectious diseases, the data shows.
One of the subgrants from Fauci's subagency to a Chinese government-owned institution explicitly states that the U.S. will only receive taxpayer-funded research data upon approval by Chinese government authorities.
The National Institutes of Health has doled out nearly $46 million in taxpayer funds to 100 Chinese institutions in the form of subgrants since the 2012 fiscal year to conduct research into infectious diseases, drug addiction, mental health and other scientific fields, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of federal spending data.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the NIH subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, provided $6.6 million in taxpayer-funded subgrants to 27 of the Chinese entities, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to conduct research into allergies and infectious diseases, subgrant data pulled from USASpending.
A House Energy and Commerce Committee aide told the DCNF that their investigation shows that USASpending subaward data is incomplete and underreported, meaning the NIH's funding of Chinese institutions could be higher than available reporting currently shows.
Fauci has vehemently rejected accusations from members of the scientific community and Republican lawmakers that his agency funded risky gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan lab, a form of research that involves the deliberate modification of dangerous pathogens to make them more infectious towards humans.
