EcoHealth Alliance - a group whose risky bat coronavirus research with Chinese lab has stirred controversy - received a new $1 million grant from the U.S. government for pandemic prevention. The grant follows the National Institutes of Health (NIH) terminating the group's funding after it was revealed that it was working with the Wuhan Institute of Virology on COVID-19.
Collaboration
- EcoHealth Alliance will focus on predictive models of location and likely pathogens
- Compile a list of mutagenic RNA viruses with a high risk of spillover based on their ability to spread, cause outbreak, and cause severe illness
- Identify locations of potential spillover and localized spread
- A list of animals known to host one or more of the focal viruses
