Mr. Chair, when we are engaging on collaborative research projects, it will depend on the nature of the work and the goal to be achieved. I would like to emphasize the fact that collaboration, both domestically and internationally, is core to our ability to be a leading institution in response to public health. We are dependent on our partners to be able to do our work to the best of their ability. We take great pride in our ability to be a domestic and international resource and pride in those collaborations.
