RADx-UP: Return To School Diagnostic Testing Approaches
Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx)Goal: Rapidly scale-up testing across the country and enhance access to those most in need
Project Description
RADx Tech Highly competitive, rapid three-phase challenge to identify the best candidates for at-home or point-of-care tests for COVID-19.
RADx-Advanced Technology Platforms
(RADx-ATP)
Rapid scale-up of advanced POC technologies and laboratories to accelerate, enhance and validate utility of ultra-high throughput machines and facilities.
RADx-Radical(RADx-rad)
Develop and advance novel, non-traditional approaches or new applications of existing approaches for testing.
RADx-UnderservedPopulations (RADx-UP)
Interlinked community-engaged projects focused on implementation strategies to enable and enhance testing of COVID-19 in underserved and/or vulnerable populations.
RADx-UP Return to School Diagnostic Testing ApproachesBudget: $50M Total; $33M recommended for funding in R2S Phase I
Goal: Develop and test COVID-19 diagnostic testing approaches to safely return children and staff to the in-person school setting in underserved and vulnerable communities
Mechanism: Other Transaction Authority to provide flexibility for changing circumstances and funding of non-traditional partners
• Focus on children and adolescents below the age eligible for vaccination via Emergency Use Authorization; include children through high school based on timing of award and rates of vaccination in the community
• Advance methods to integrate testing in return to or maintenance of in-person instruction
• Identify effective, scalable, and sustainable testing implementation strategies, including in-school testing, in community pediatric primary care clinics, childcare centers, preschool, and school settings serving primarily underserved or disadvantaged children and their families.

Scientific Focus
Data on COVID-19 testing and mitigation strategies, including community engagement and education, to inform safe return to school in Fall of 2021
Data on COVID-19 testing and mitigation strategies, including community engagement and education, based on changing guidance for Fall of 2021
• Projects cover a range of settings including public, charter, tribal, early education, and special education schools
• Children range in age from 3-17 years, with the majority of projects covering children from 6-17 years of age
• Critically, these projects include children with medical complexity or intellectual or developmental disabilities who may not be able to use other mitigation strategies
Phase I Projects
Phase II Scientific Goals
• Address the impact of vaccine availability for school personnel and students ages 12 and older; include efforts to increase vaccine confidence
• Provide information on circulating variants and breakthrough infections following vaccination
• Increase the reach of the research in racial and ethnic groups not included in applications funded in Phase I
• Ensure coverage of early education or preschool cohorts and specific strategies for testing and mitigation in this population
• Focus on increasing the geographic areas covered to understand regional variation in mitigation strategies and to increase the number of projects in dense, urban areas or hard to reach rural areas
