This NIH grant, part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Radical (RADx-rad) initiative, aims to enhance chemosensory testing as a COVID-19 screening tool. The National Institutes of Health offers expedited funding for novel, non-traditional approaches to identify SARS-CoV-2 or other COVID-19 markers, applicable to future outbreaks. This grant seeks proposals for objective tests examining chemosensory loss’s onset and prognostic value, and encourages developing/deploying home-based and on-site chemosensory tests. Funded by the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, this grant supports crucial public health diagnostics.

| Description: | NIH is issuing this RFA in response to the declared public health emergency issued by the Secretary, HHS, for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). This emergency NOSI from the NIH provides an expedited funding mechanism as part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Radical (RADx-rad) initiative. The goal of RADx-rad initiative is to encourage the development of novel, non-traditional approaches to identify the current SARS-CoV-2 virus or other markers of the COVID-19 disease that can be used in future outbreaks of COVID-19 and that could be applicable to other, as yet unknown, viruses. Specifically, the goal of this RFA is to solicit proposals to enhance the utility of chemosensory testing as a COVID-19 screening tool by using objective tests to examine the onset and prognostic value of chemosensory loss and to encourage the development and/or deployment of home-based and on-site chemosensory tests. The funding for this initiative is provided from the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, 2020. |
