   It says, "Ralph, I've been working on a DARPA proposal with Autonomous Therapeutics on MERS-CoV with a quick turnaround. They're funded for another DARPA project to generate therapeutic interfering particles, and are looking to apply their approach for MERS on this specific supplement call. We have been chatting for a few weeks, and they are interested in both in vitro and in vivo experiments with their MERS-CoV targeted TIPs. I am currently planning to work with them on the in vitro side, but suggest they talk directly to you about the DPPR 288/330 model."

   I don't know. I don't believe that I ever had -- I mean, this is an easy thing for us to test, to see if we had money from them. But I'm 99 percent sure that we never received any money from this group. The other possibility would be that Vineet asked me to send him the mouse model. The 288/330 is the mouse model that I talked about for MERS earlier. And so if he had that agreement with them and he wanted it, he's a former postdoc, I would've sent it to him in a second.

   Because I believe this is a PREEMPT11 funded.

   It might be, but I'm not funded on it.
