The NIH published two emergency Requests for Applications (RFAs) to solicit applications to participate in Phase III of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Underserved Populations ( RADx-UP ) initiative. RADx-UP is focused on community-engaged research to understand and reduce barriers to COVID-19 testing and implement interventions that mitigate COVID-19 disparities for underserved and vulnerable populations.

As part of its mission to support interdisciplinary biomedical research among understudied, underrepresented, and underreported (U3) populations, ORWH has pledged to support the following RADx-UP funding opportunities:

  • Emergency Awards: RADx-UP Social, Ethical, and Behavioral Implications (SEBI) Research on Disparities in COVID-19 Testing among Underserved and Vulnerable Populations (U01 Clinical Trial Optional) ( RFA-OD-22-005 )
  • Emergency Award: RADx-UP Community-Engaged Research on Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Testing among Underserved and Vulnerable Populations (U01 Clinical Trial Optional) ( RFA-OD-22-006 )
