Notes
[Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $427,900 over two years to the University of Utah to support research led by Professors Michael Kay and Debbie Eckert on developing D-peptide antivirals against henipaviruses with pandemic potential, such as Hendra and Nipah virus. This grant was funded via our request for proposals through the Pandemic Antiviral Discovery Initiative. This follows our October 2022 support and falls within our focus area of biosecurity and pandemic preparedness.
