Expanding access to COVID-19 data for Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs): The RADx Data Hub

Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) is a national NIH-funded initiative comprising four programs working to streamline processes and identify quick, accurate, user-friendly COVID-19 testing methods that are easy to access and scale up. Data from the RADx Data Hub provides researchers and public health officials access to data collected from hundreds of research studies working better to understand outcomes, disparities, and possible solutions. RADx data looks at testing and surveillance methods, barriers, and strategies to support real-world implementation.
This webinar aimed to: 

• Introduce the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics in Underserved Populations’ Coordination and Data Collection Center (RADx-UP CDCC)
• Explain how to request, access, and search the NIH RADx Data Hub
• Share more about RADx data and methods of collection
• Provide an opportunity to learn more from a RADx-UP funded community project at Howard University
• Discuss opportunities to collaborate with the RADx-UP CDCC (author abstract)
