For any other Federal agency?

Besides the NIH? I mean, technically, the work that we did with MERS, where we were given a waiver, as far as I know it was never really reviewed for GOF. It decided that it was in the national interest to develop a mouse model so that countermeasures could be developed against MERS. The virus has a 35 percent mortality rate. It could transmit to people, and it could transmit through asymptomatic spread. So there's a threat potential there. I think NIH made the right call in that case, that you develop the appropriate reagents so that you can move countermeasures forward to protect the public.

Okay. So have you ever done gain-of22 function research under any other federally funded grant?
-
No.

Have you ever, you know, created a virus or provided sequences or done something under a contract DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com where you were not the one that was actually conducting gain-of-function research, but the overarching experimental research was --
-
Can you put that into a direct example, rather than this global thing that requires me to remember everything that I did in the last 40 years of my life?
-
The only gain-of-function that you have ever done or been involved in is the one that you received an exemption for.
-
Every gain-of-function? Once the pause occurred, anything that we did that had potential for gain12 of-function was reviewed by the NIH, yes.
-
I mean, so you only did that kind of work for NIH.
