NIH Renews Grant To Organization That Funded Coronavirus Experiments In Wuhan

A member of a World Health Organization team is seen wearing protective gear during a field visit to the Hubei Animal Disease Control and Prevention Center for another day of field visit in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province.

The National Institutes of Health have renewed a grant to an organization that funded experiments in Wuhan at a facility identified as the possible origin point of the pandemic.

EcoHealth announced the renewal on Monday and said that the grant had been suspended in April of 2020 “due to concerns about continuing collaborative laboratory research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” EcoHealth’s experiments involved on-site work at the WIV and involved the study of coronaviruses.
