(NIH/OD) [E]" @nih.gov> Subject: RE: Grant Questions - FBI Inquiry - 1-R01AI110964-01 - 2-R01AI110964-06 Mike, Just to provide you with an update on this one. Mike Shannon went to NIAIDs Deputy Director last evening to note that Emily was being "non-responsive" so the issue would be escalated. Emily said that as soon as the Deputy Director figured out which grant was involved, they knew that Emily had acted appropriately, and that OMA should be trusting her professional judgement. The Deputy Director is meeting with Mike Shannon today to discuss. You were not included in the emails from Mike Shannon at any point, not even as a FYI. Really happy that NIAID leadership supported Emily--huge in this case. Just want you know what's going on in this space and the fact that Mike is meeting w/the Deputy Director today. Thanks, Michelle From: Lauer, Michael (NIH/OD) [E] @nih.gov> Sent: Friday, September 11, 2020 4:37 AM To: Bulls, Michelle G.

We might also want to include OGC / Anna Jacobs in our conversations with OMA. Best, Mike Note: This conversation is restricted, so you might not be able to cut or copy from it.
