Somebody has to buy the PDF.

One example of what to expect (an open access study, "In this study, we confirmed the use of human ACE2 as receptor of two novel SARSr-CoVs by using chimeric viruses" - meaning they adapted viruses to humans): https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698

Funding: This work was jointly funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China (81290341, 31621061) to ZLS, China Mega-Project for Infectious Disease (2014ZX10004001-003) to ZLS, Scientific and technological basis special project (2013FY113500) to YZZ and ZLS from the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (XDPB0301) to ZLS, the National Institutes of Health (NIAID R01AI110964), the USAID Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) PREDICT program to PD and ZLS, CAS Pioneer Hundred Talents Program to JC, NRF-CRP grant (NRF-CRP10-2012-05) to LFW and WIV “One-Three-Five” Strategic Program (WIV-135-TP1) to JC and ZLS.

We know about the NIH funding the creation of SARS version 2, the USAID involvement is new to many. An then there are so many "programs" that hide the flow of money.

Thanks. So they optimized the spike protein of SARS so it could bind better to ACE2, and they used money from Germany and the European Union to do this.

German Research Association Grant

This is a big player: Annual budget 3.3 billion euros to fund 31,000 research projects, offices in Washington and Beijing. https://www.research-in-germany.org/en/research-funding/funding-organisations/deutsche-forschungsgemeinschaft-(dfg).html
