House Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans are demanding that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigate EcoHealth Alliance and its president after the organization allegedly withheld data relating to its research on COVID-19 during the grant renewal process.

According to its website, EcoHealth Alliance is a “global environmental health nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting wildlife and public health from the emergence of disease.”
