This poster highlights the Stanford Medicine Nephrology Divisions' screening for infections in dialysis facilities that could:
1. Facilitate early detection & treatment
2. Reduce transmission
3. Strengthen public health surveillance in a future pandemic
We evaluated the acceptability of routine SARS-CoV-2 screening among asymptomatic patients in dialysis facilities.

This website provides an overview of C.R.A.I.N.E.S, a project to introduce Wastewater Based Surveillance (WBS) as an evidence-based strategy for SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in the jails of Atlanta, Chicago, suburban Boston and Washington, DC. The purpose of this site includes an introduction to our study team, information on our four (4) collaborating sites, and required tax and consent forms needed for participants.

The RADx-UP CDCC conducted a policy analysis and developed a policy framework to help health leaders address challenges during the pandemic. The policy framework identifies five key policy levers for addressing health inequities in COVID-19 and beyond—access, resource allocation, data, communication and messaging, and payment—and three foundational components—community engagement, cross-sector partnerships, and regulatory guidance. As a result, the current health policy framework team offers this DIY (do-it-yourself) exercise to guide your team towards developing policy change strategies related to your RADx-UP initiative. This can be done with multiple members of your team or individually.

This document provides a tool for assessing which strategies are in place in a primary care practice when it comes to improving COVID-19 care. It also provides a mechanism for prioritizing practice improvement activities.

This publication supplement is a collaborative effort between Pediatrics, The ABC Science Collaborative and the RADx-UP Coordination and Data Collection Center. It is a collective effort of 109 authors, including eight community members, across 16 RADx-UP Return to School institutions, and shares what we have learned about reach, access, and effectiveness of COVID-19 testing in school settings. The information in this research summary details the titles and publications included in the 2023 supplement and lessons learned in Spanish.

RADx-UP project teams and grant recipients use common data elements (CDEs) to set a standard for study questions and provide a way to aggregate data from across projects. These public data sets present metrics such as neighborhood housing, education, income statistics, and social vulnerability at the zip code level across the United States. The CDCC harmonizes the CDEs and makes Core Analytic Datasets for cross-consortium analyses. This document provides more information on these datasets and how they can be used.

A causal loop diagram visually represents how different elements of a system or intervention are connected, paying specific attention to how different elements interact or cause one another to change. Rather than just showing one large diagram with all the insights from SDoTV about what matters to increase equitable COVID-19 Testing, we have a table that shows a few elements at a time, in structures we call loops, and describe why they matter with written explanations and quotes. The SDoTV Work Group was specifically interested in how social determinants of health impacted equitable testing. For a walk-through of how to read each loop, check out our video library.

The Community Engagement Alliance Consultative Resource (CEACR) was established to elevate best practices throughout the Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) and provide customized expertise to optimize inclusive participation across the research ecosystem. The program was established by NIH through a partnership with Community Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) to deliver expert consultation to NIH-funded projects, CEAL sites, and community-based organizations doing work on COVID-19, maternal health, and other areas to harness the assets and resources being developed.
