Special COVID-19 Supplements and Activities

Superfund Research Program

The Superfund Research Program (SRP) is a network of multi-disciplinary scientists combining expertise in biomedical, environmental science and engineering, community engagement, and data management. SRP researchers provide practical, scientific solutions for pressing global public health issues. Through this multidisciplinary framework, grant recipients rapidly pivoted their research and expanded their collaborations to apply their knowledge to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to the rapidly evolving nature of the pandemic, SRP provided supplemental funding to Centers to expand upon the foundation established under their existing SRP grants to meet immediate needs to address the public health crisis. Another type of funding mechanism, which is part of the NIH’s Rapid Acceleration of Diagnosis for Underserved Populations (RADx-Up) Initiative was made available to encourage researchers to develop and implement technologies for COVID-19 testing in underserved populations. These projects provided grant recipients the opportunity to leverage the SRP Center infrastructure to pivot their research to contribute to the national response to public health emergencies.
