Project Title: Syringe-Injectable Mesh Electronics for Seamless Integration with the Central Nervous System Grant ID: DP1-EB025835

    For 6+ years a privileged, indeed acclaimed, Harvard professor shared cutting edge chemistry/biology technology with Chiinese academics.  This disseminated research was, in general, completed pursuant to funding grants from the NIH.  Dr. Lieber was recently arrested on espionage charges. Thus far it has not been made clear when either Harvard, the NIH, or the FBI became aware of the sharing history. The core question is whether intellectual assets developed under the auspice of the NIH and Harvard were shared in violation of contracts pursuant to which the research occured.  That was not clear from reading the NY Times article. 

    Further, it was reported that Chinese interests during this extended period paid Lieber, not Harvard or NIH, millions of dollars seemingly as a "quid-pro-quo, for sharing this technology. Did these payments violate any Harvard or NIH contracts?  At minimum the public should know how this research could have been jointly funded by China, Harvard and NIH for well over 6 years without having been approved by the either cooperating funding partners or objected to by one or more of the funding partners. 

     I presume that the Chinese embassy didn't call the NIH in 2015 or 2016 and complain that the research on AI research was moving to slow, asking that pressure be put on Lieber and Harvard to expedite their research.... nor,  I presume did Harvard nor NIH, fire Lieber and call the FBI. 

     In summary, WTF.
