/O) cE ID) [E] > 164-06 (received date Cc: Shannon, Mike (NIH/OD) [E] @nih.gov>; Kearse, Deborah (NIH/OD) [E] @nih.gov> Subject: RE: Grant Questions - FBI Inquiry - 1-R01AI110964-01 - 2-R01AI110964-06 Importance: High Good afternoon Emily, I'm following-up on this inquiry - originally the questions circled around the scientific terms of the grant and Erik Stemmy provided the context to the FBI. In a recent discussion with HHS OIG and the FBI, they noted they received information that the below-grant with Ecohealth Alliance was "suspended" or "terminated". I've reviewed QVR and do not see an indication of that action other than the attached "Closeout of Award" email stating the end of the grant was 4/24/20 with a request for the FFR and FRPPR. Was this just a typical end of term closeout, or was it terminated early? If terminated/suspended, the OIG has the following questions: 1. What information did NIH/NIAID receive, and from whom, that noted a concern for continuing to fund this research? 2. What was the reasoning for NIAID ending the grant and/or collaboration with Ecohealth Alliance? 3. What was communicated to the PI (Dr. Daszak) and/or Ecohealth? Please let me know if you're able to provide this information. Thank you, Ashley Ashley M.
