I just want to say that the government allocated—I forget the exact amount—about $450 million to research institutions and universities to ensure that, during the pandemic, they can continue their work in this important area of research related to COVID-19. I'd be pleased to share this information with you, if you want me to do so.

There are other research programs. The government manages these programs related to research on topics other than COVID-19.
