“CDCC RFAs: Community Collaboration Mini-Grants and Rapid Pilots
The deadline for the application is April 16, 2021. Application instructions and a communication kit to spread the word about these opportunities throughout your networks are available at https://radx-up.org/apply-for-grant/.
Community Mini-Grants
Community organizations can apply for up to $50,000 in funds to support increased testing for COVID-19 through the RADx-UP Community Collaboration Mini-Grant Program. These funds are available to community serving organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based clinics, and tribal nations and organizations. Funds can be used to help advance capacity, training, support, and community experience with COVID-19 testing initiatives. This RFA seeks to support the inclusion of additional community partners and stakeholder groups that are not currently part of the RADx-UP program through CDCC subawards.
Funds can be used to support personnel costs, contracted service costs (transportation, translation, and interpretation, etc.), and non-personnel costs (participant incentives, information and technology equipment, etc.) Please share this opportunity with partners in your community.
Rapid Research Pilot Program
Researchers seeking funds to conduct community-engaged research on COVID-19 testing can apply for up to $200,000 in funding through the RADx-UP Rapid Research Pilot Program. Researchers from institutions of higher education – especially historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, and other minority-serving institutions – as well as industry, state and local governments, and community-based organizations are all encouraged to apply.
These funds can be used to assess the feasibility of integrating new or emerging testing technologies into the RADx-UP program in coordination with the NIH-supported RADx initiatives.
