In May 2020, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded Shanghai Zerun Biotechnology a $1,000,000 USD vaccine development grant to "support research and development for COVID-19 response".[4]
In July 2021, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) announced that it had partnered with Shanghai Zerun Biotechnology and its parent company, Walvax Biotech, to develop COVID-19 vaccine candidates against both the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and its newer variants.[3] As of October 2022, CEPI had provided up to $25.1 million USD towards 202-CoV, but had ceased further funding.[5] The chimeric protein candidate remains in Phase I clinical trials.
