- 2021-08/09 — Press coverage archived in the corpus covers both his Welsh Prize win (TJJ 2021-09-08, 威爾許化學獎肯定) and the contemporaneous 翁啟惠案 legal opinion-letter dispute (TJJ 2021-08-13, 意見書鬧雙胞).
- Case aftermath archived in the corpus: the 監察院’s third investigation report (2021-03) found 翁啟惠 made no false asset declarations and violated no conflict-of-interest law, with 監委王美玉 filing a dissent (TJJ archive, 監院三查翁啟惠案); later corpus press also records him being honored as 台大傑出校友 (2022-11) (TJJ 2022-11-14).
- 2021-09-08 — the Welch Foundation announcement names him as 前中央研究院院長、國家生技醫療產業策進會會長, praised by 董事會主席 Carin Barth for 促進未來數年的新藥與疫苗開發 research methods (TJJ 2021-09-08, 威爾許化學獎公布) — same award as the 獲頒 entry above, with his concurrent 生技策進會 role recorded.
- 2021-11-29 — on his return to Taiwan after the Welch Prize, 立法院長游錫堃 held a 祝賀餐會 for him in the 立法院中興大樓12樓 (he attended with his wife 劉映理; the 生策會創辦人, 前立法院長王金平 and 前立法院長蘇嘉全 joined to congratulate), per corpus press (TJJ 2021-11-28, 游錫堃宴請翁啟惠) — a state-level recognition of his standing alongside the diaspora mobilization below.
- 2021-09-10 — the 翁啟惠案 drew a community mobilization in its own right: a 海內外台灣人聲援翁啟惠連署活動 (petition of Taiwanese at home and abroad denouncing the prosecution as 司法不公，國耻之最) is archived in the corpus (TJJ 2021-09-10, 聲援翁啟惠連署) — one of the clearest instances of the diaspora community taking a position on his legal case.
- 2020-04 — corpus press credits the SARS protease-inhibitor program he backed as 中研院長 (with 台大方俊民團隊’s drug synthesis and 中研院王惠鈞’s co-crystal structure work) as the foundation of Taiwan’s COVID-19 antiviral research (TJJ archive, 武漢肺炎 中研院關鍵抑制劑).
- 2022-10 — ahead of that year’s announcement, corpus press reported him as a leading contender for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (TJJ 2022-10-02, 諾貝爾化學獎呼聲高)
- 2012-08-14 — earliest corpus trace of his legal-case history: an archived 自由時報 editorial on the 宇昌案 sign-off (特偵組查無不法簽結) recalls the 2012 election-period attacks in which 「把蔡英文與何大一、翁啟惠等學者專家狠狠鬥臭」 — the 宇昌案 is the antecedent of the later 浩鼎/翁啟惠案 record on this page (TJJ archive, 社論: 選民還要被金光黨騙幾次 (2012-08-15))
- 2024-06-18 — appointed 副召集人 of 賴總統’s 「健康台灣推動委員會」 alongside 陳志鴻 and 陳時中, in his continuing capacity as 國家生技醫療產業策進會會長 (TJJ 2024-06-18, 賴總統就職滿月記者會)
HOLD: conflict in source Era metadata — #47 (2014 Wolf Prize) work page carries Era 2017; prize year 2014 kept per title, not merged.
CORPUS SCAN (2026-09-23, slice 09221100-15; re-run 2026-09-24, slice 09230600-6): exact-name re-grep 「翁啟惠／Chi-Huey Wong」 returns only the six work pages already wikilinked above (#47, #236, #567, #243, #802, #846) plus archived TJJ coverage. Scan re-run 2026-09-25 (slice 09240600-13): work-page hits unchanged; three additional archived TJJ articles (2021 聲援連署, 2020 SARS/COVID 抑制劑 program, 2022 諾貝爾呼聲) absorbed above — remaining TJJ hits are tag/category archive pages with no new biographical facts.
