>>15435244 Searched Federal RePORTer using search term "P3CO" and found a grant to Univ. North Carolina, Chapel Hill (already suspicious) titled: IDENTIFYING GENETIC REGULATORS AND NEW MODELS OF WILD TYPE CORONAVIRUS PATHOGENESIS
From the Abstract:
Importantly, coronavirus passage experiments were recently restricted during the Gain of Function research pause and could now fall under the HHS P3CO Framework, thus limiting our ability to rapidly identify disease models for emerging pathogens. Additionally, a passage approach to generating a disease models is time consuming, something that cannot be afforded in the context of a novel virus outbreak.
By generating a new mouse model of wild type SARS-CoV pathogenesis we will provide an important tool for the evaluation of the pathogenic potential of emerging zoonotic coronaviruses as well as a resource for testing novel therapeutics and vaccines.
Honest question: Is generating a new mouse model of wild type SARS-CoV pathogenesis Gain of Function?
