Hey, <<First Name>>! There are a lot of great webinars coming up soon. See below!
New NIH Fast-Track Program for COVID-19 Test Development and Distribution – Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx). The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) is urgently soliciting proposals and can provide up to $500M across multiple projects to rapidly produce innovative SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests that will assist the public’s safe return to normal activities. RADx will provide resources to support all phases of the product development pipeline from conceptualization and design to reduction-to-practice, performance evaluation, clinical validation, and scale-up of manufacturing. There will be a rolling submission and selection process beginning Apr 29 until further notice.
New Webinar Series for the NIGMS Training Community. Webinar series is for students, postdocs, and faculty. Each hour-long webinar will include a 10- to 15-minute presentation by the speaker followed by a moderated question and answer session.

During the session, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIAID, offered an update on the pandemic in the US, where the number of reported cases is nearing 1 million. “This is such a large country, and the dynamics of the outbreak differ from state to state, from region to region, and even from city to city,” he said.
