What is the RADx-UP Community Collaboration Mini-Grant (C2G)?
The C2G initiative is designed to be a small manageable project that will focus on the use of emerging testing technologies in identified COVID-19 vulnerable and underserved populations. Researchers seeking funds to help advance capacity, training, support, and community experience with COVID-19 testing initiatives can apply for up to $50,000 in funding and if awarded, will have one year to complete the project NIH-funded RADx-UP Community Collaboration Mini-Grant project.
Who should apply?
Researchers from “non-governmental” community serving organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based clinics, and tribal nations and organizations are all encouraged to apply.
How can you use $50,000 for COVID-19 testing?
Mini-grant funds may be budgeted to:
- support personnel
- use of services, including, where applicable, salary support for personnel
- travel necessary for community engagement
- testing supplies and lab costs, or
- other purposes deemed necessary for the successful execution of the proposed project.
