Did NIH ever adopt your language that you had provided to them on stopped work and at what point you would have to?

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

  1. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Did you ever write the limitations of the work?
  2. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Describe the limitation you're referring to.
  3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    We'll get that document. But did you DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com ever, basically what logs you had to report and immediately stop work?
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Say that again.

  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Oh, are you talking about parameters that we might use to determine whether we would pause the research in place --
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Right.

    -- notify NIH, and then yes, have a discussion about what to do, including destruction of viruses. I don't know if they implemented that as a policy or not. They might well have, because one of my documents would have been one of the first ones that they reviewed. Against, that's a decision that NIH has to come up with, not me.
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    And I think they did. But, you know, I think -- and that's a question that we have is, is it appropriate or not. It sounds like NIH didn't even keep documents of those interactions.
