NIMHD Supports Grantees of Research Centers and Large Networks to Study COVID-19 Testing

Through its Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics for Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) initiative, NIH aims to understand the factors that lead to COVID-19–related health disparities so that it can implement effective testing interventions. As part of this initiative, NIMHD is supporting 2-year community-engaged Testing Research Projects. These projects will examine SARS-CoV-2 infection patterns and efforts to increase access and effectiveness of testing among underserved and/or vulnerable populations.
This Testing Research Project funding opportunity will support supplements to eligible NIH grantees that are part of large-scale networks, consortia, centers, and other current programs that have adequate capacity and infrastructure and established community-engaged relationships to support large-scale testing.
NIMHD encourages investigators to participate in this important public health activity and welcomes inquiries about this funding opportunity. Review the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for more information on eligibility and application submissions.
Open Date: June 12, 2020
Application Due Date: August 7, 2020 by 5:00 p.m. local time of applicant organization
