Funding - POCTRN
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADxsm) initiative was formed to accelerate the development, validation, and commercialization of innovative point-of-care and home-based tests, as well as improvements to clinical laboratory tests, that can directly detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

RADx Tech II: Fast-Track Program to Advance U.S. COVID-19 Testing Capabilities
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) is announcing today that its Point-of-Care Technology Research Network (POCTRN) is soliciting proposals to further advance SARS-CoV-2 testing technologies in order to fill specific unmet national needs. Unmet needs include but are not limited to point-of-care/over-the-counter tests with lab performance, tests for multiple pathogens, and tests adaptable to emerging variants.
