Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Initiative

April 2020

In April 2020, NIH, with OBSSR collaboration and support, launches the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Initiative to develop rapid, easy-to-use, accurate testing and make it available nationwide. As part of this effort, the RADx Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) program explores solutions to stop the spread of COVID-19, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities and other vulnerable populations that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
