    I mean, I think we talked about this a little bit earlier, but, I mean, would there always be a funding stream for work that you did? If you created a virus or did anything like that, would you always be paid for it, and how would you track that?

    So the way research grants work is that there are several aims, sub-aims. And research grants are always written in the context of being more fluid than contracts. So discoveries that you make in the context of doing the science may cause direction changes, which are then typically reported to the NIH, in your progress reports. So are you asking me if -- from how I just answered that, what's the context of the question?

    Well, sometimes for large program project grants there would be a universal MTA created among all of the researchers so that you can share reagents. That's one form. And the other form is somebody will call and ask you for reagents and you do an MTA agreement.
