EcoHealth Alliance
institution
This nonprofit was the pipe that carried U.S. government money to the Wuhan lab studying coronaviruses.
Who they are
EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S. nonprofit led by president Peter Daszak.
What they do
It passed along federal NIH and USAID grants to virology labs abroad, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology, for coronavirus and animal-to-human spillover research.
How it works
It served as the channel through which NIH gain-of-function funding reached Wuhan; it's now under several congressional investigations and has been cut off from federal funding.
Why it matters
It matters as the documented funding link in the COVID-origins debate — but the engine notes its work was coronavirus-focused, with no record of it touching the hantavirus that a separate cluster (the MV Hondius case) involved, so that case sits outside this network.
The engine's record — word for word
501(c)(3) routing federal NIH/USAID funds to international virology labs (including Wuhan Institute of Virology) for coronavirus + zoonotic-spillover research. Daszak president. The institutional pipeline through which NIH GoF funding reached WIV. Now under multiple congressional investigations + suspended from federal funding. **Report #84 (May 7 2026 MV Hondius audit - adversarial null cross-reference):** EcoHealth Alliance's coronavirus-focused funding pipeline has no documented hantavirus or Andes-virus extension. The MV Hondius cluster is off this institutional substrate.
