Well no, as the article points out the NIH does not accept that interpretation and believes the research doesn't meet the criteria for being classified as gain of function under the relevant policy. Furthermore they were deceived by the researchers and at that point had not been given the research data, and the outcome was not expected or a goal of the funding anyway.
