- RADx-UP (Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Underserved Populations) | NIH leaders, program officers and program scientists oversee the RADx-UP program and its funding awards to more than 125 research teams across the United States and its territories as well as Tribal Nations. The RADx-UP Coordination and Data Collection Center (CDCC) is the central leadership and support team assisting the NIH and these projects as they serve their communities. The CDCC is organized into four core support teams: The COVID-19 Testing Core helps projects elevate their testing strategies. The Community Engagement Core helps projects deepen their community outreach, education and testing participation. The Data Science and Biostatistics Core helps projects strengthen their data collection, integration and analysis. The Administrative Core, along with the Evaluation Team and other partners, helps the CDCC to be a center of excellence for supporting the RADx-UP consortium.
