To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any written or electronic communications, including any emails, letters, or email attachments, sent or received by Chief of Staff Carrie Wolinetz concerning NIH's decision to abruptly cancel a grant that provided funding to the EcoHealth Alliance to study coronaviruses in bats. More information about the cancelled grant in question can be found in this Politico article: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/27/trump-cuts-research-bat-human-virus-china-213076

This request seeks records produced since March 1, 2020.

I am a reporter with The Guardian, and seek expedited processing as well as a fee waiver.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jimmy Tobias
