Joe Biden’s U.S. Agency for International Development launched a new $125 million dollar project with Washington State University and foreign collaborators to discover over 10,000 novel viruses in nature.

The new program, announced by Washington State University (WSU) on October 5th, will endeavor “to collect over 800,000 samples in the five years of the project.” “This process is expected to yield 8,000
President Biden’s pick to lead the U.S. Agency for International Development, Samantha Power, previously “lobbied” to remove an Iranian organization funding terrorism from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list.
