The National Institutes of Health (NIH) email dump coincides with new scrutiny on its parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), for failing to investigate alleged criminal behavior by EcoHealth Alliance.
HHS confirmed to former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker that Inspector General Christi Grimm is not investigating EcoHealth grants despite requests from House and Senate Republicans following NIH claims that EcoHealth didn't comply with grant conditions in connection with unintentional gain-of-function research.
The FBI launched an inquiry into an NIH grant to EcoHealth, as documented in a May 2020 email from an NIH investigations officer to an FBI agent. The email, obtained by The Intercept, provided fully redacted responses to FBI questions from Daszak's program officer at NIAID, Erik Stemmy. Thacker said NIH didn't respond when asked if it was still working with the FBI.
