Independent public-record research

Follow the funding.
Keep the evidence.

Where does research money go—and what can the records actually prove? We trace selected awards, separate money from affiliation, and show exactly where the evidence ends.

READ THE RECORD

Two editions.
Three useful distinctions.

Different evidence problems, the same rule:
never make the next link without its source.

New / Photonics · United Kingdom

A proposed photonics grant.
A withdrawn project.

A 2017 competition proposed £12,530 for the Centre for Integrated Photonics. The later official workbook marks the identifier-matched project Withdrawn. Huawei UK control is separately documented; neither record establishes a paid grant to a parent company.

Funding trace + affiliation control · United States / China

A documented funding path.
A partnership that is not one.

The historical NIH → EcoHealth → WIV subaward has an independent audit bridge and an unresolved $111 difference. A selected Duke award and the Duke–Kunshan partnership are real facts—but these records do not connect that award to DKU.

AN EVIDENCE STANDARD, NOT A LABEL

Every line
has to earn its place.

Funding, ownership, institutional affiliation, party governance and military relationships are distinct questions. Evidence for one does not answer the others.

Read the method →
  1. Match the identity.A stable award or company number beats a familiar name.
  2. Name the measure.A proposed grant, obligation, reported spend and cash payment are not interchangeable.
  3. Keep the stopping point.Missing records stay missing. A relationship never becomes an invented transfer.
  4. Leave a correction trail.Preserve discrepancies and date every material revision.
INSPECT IT YOURSELF

The source trail
is part of the story.

Each edition includes a complete report, original-source links, precise locators and structured extracts. No account or JavaScript is needed to read this collection.

These cases do not estimate worldwide funding flows or determine misconduct. They are dated, bounded public-record assessments.
