It's to you. It's someone from DARPA. DARPA researcher John Julius emailed you and Amy Sims on March 14, 2013, and wanted to speak to you for that program, about your experience in modeling host pathogen interactions and the ability to predict genetic variations within a viral population, particularly with coronavirus model systems.

    No, you can't, because it's my notes. The Prophecy program was exploring the evolution of viruses in the hope of predicting viral mutations and ultimately developing drugs and vaccines in advance of need. So that was around 2013.

    Yeah, okay, I remember that. No, it's a different thing.

    So you didn't end up --
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    That was never funded. Yeah, we discussed it with them, and I actually think a proposal was written, and they were thinking about funding it, and then the program officer left, and the next program officer said they weren't interested in it, and that was the end of it.

    So then the dengue program, it was under the Pandemic Prevention Path, the platform P3.
