Pre-application Webinars for RADx-UP Funding Opportunities

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is encouraging research to test the implementation of COVID-19 diagnostic testing in underserved or vulnerable communities through the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics for Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) initiative. On June 12, 2020, the NIH published three Notices of Special Interest to solicit emergency competitive revision applications to existing awards and a fourth funding opportunity announcement for a Coordination and Data Collection Center to support the goals of the NIH RADx-UP program.

NIH will hold two pre-application webinars. 

The first webinar, to be held on Friday, June 26, 2020, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. EDT, will include an overview of the RADx-UP initiative, followed by presentations on each funding opportunity (NOT-OD-20-119, NOT-OD-20-120, NOT-OD-20-121, and RFA-OD-20-013) with question and answer sessions for each. The webinar will conclude with a final, open question and answer session.

The second webinar, to be held on Wednesday, July 1, 2020, from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT, will focus on questions for applications for the Coordinating and Data Collection Center in response to RFA-OD-20-013. Questions related to the other three FOAs will also be addressed.

Questions can also be pre-submitted at RADxInfo@nih.gov by:

  • 11:59 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 for the June 26, 2020 webinar
  • 11:59 p.m. local time on Monday, June 29, 2020 for the July 1, 2020 webinar
