Question of the day: Does affiliated, or affiliation, or collaboration mean "working for..."? I'm not sure anyone can answer that question until there is news of funding.

For anyone who wants to know more about the word "affiliated," common synonyms are "connected, joined, related..."

Ehrlich reported it this way on June 23, 2022:
"...based on in vitro testing conducted in collaboration with National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) scientists. Researchers at Rutgers University have also shown Brilacidin inhibited in vitro the Gamma (P.1) and Alpha (B.1.1.7) variants of SARS-CoV-2."

this was from June 28, 2022 company PR:
"Research was performed by scientists at George Mason University’s Center for Infectious Disease Research (formerly NCBID)...
Brilacidin has been researched by NIH/NIAID-sponsored and other academic collaborators as a novel broad-spectrum antiviral drug candidate. A review article is being prepared on Brilacidin based on this research and on results from the Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04784897) of intravenous Brilacidin in moderate-to-severe hospitalized cases of COVID-19."

And this is from August 5, 2022:

"...in vitro testing initially will be conducted in orthopoxviruses1 (poxviruses) related to monkeypox -- such as vaccinia and cowpox -- through a collaboration with National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) scientists. Testing in poxviruses builds on earlier NIH/NIAID-affiliated research of Brilacidin in other acutely infectious virus families, including coronaviruses, alphaviruses, flaviviruses, and filoviruses, with a corresponding scientific paper being prepared for publication.

In response to:

Is it clear to you that the NIH/NIAID-Affiliated Researchers are working for the NIAID in their evaluation of brilacidin or do they just so happen to be affiliated with NIAID?
