Grant oversight failures, with no bearing on the origin question
- what the source states
- The inspector-general audit found that the funding agency and its grantee did not effectively monitor the relevant awards and subawards, identifying compliance and reporting failures including a materially late progress report.
- what we infer
- Included so the institutional-integrity layer is visible and explicitly walled off. These are real, primary-sourced findings about grant administration with zero diagnosticity for what infected the first humans. Recording them here, attached to the assessments theme rather than to any origin claim, is how this case keeps layer-three misconduct from silently feeding a layer-one verdict.
- limitations
- An audit of grant administration; it makes no finding about the origin of the virus and none is inferred from it.
