To help address the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) received $500 million to support the development of new SARS-CoV-2 virus testing technologies. The funding is part of the fourth congressional supplement (PPP Act). The Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Tech program is leveraging NIBIB''s existing Point-of-Care Technologies Research Network (POCTRN) to accelerate the development, validation, and commercialization of innovative POC and home-based tests, as well as improvements to existing clinical laboratory methods. RADx Tech is supporting the full range of product development including technology validation, clinical translation, commercialization, and product distribution.

Rare Disease Day®takes place worldwide, typically on or near the last day of February each year, to raise awareness among policymakers and the public about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives. Each year, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center sponsor Rare Disease Day at NIH as part of this global observance. Rare Disease Day at NIH aims to raise awareness about rare diseases, the people they affect, and NIH research collaborations under way to address scientific challenges and to advance new treatments.
The goals of Rare Disease Day at NIH are to:
•Demonstrate the NIH commitment to helping people with rare diseases through research.
•Highlight NIH-supported rare diseases research and the development of diagnostics and treatments.
•Initiate a mutually beneficial dialogue among public and private researchers, patients, patient advocates and policymakers.
•Exchange the latest rare diseases information with stakeholders to advance research and therapeutic efforts.
•Put a face on rare diseases by sharing stories of patients, their families and their communities.

This activity is sponsored by the Clinical Pharmacology Program, Office of Clinical Research Training and Medical Education (OCRTME) at The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center (CC). It consists of elective rotations at the Office of Clinical Pharmacology (OCP) and the Office of New Drugs (OND) of the US Food and Drug Administration''s (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. It is for NIH staff, with a primary focus on clinical fellows and research fellows, who expressed an interest in learning more about FDA regulatory sciences applicable to drug development research. Rotating fellows are mentored by FDA staff on the required elements of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application and the key elements of the FDA review process from a regulatory perspective. This program also established a mechanism for FDA scientific reviewers at the OCP to rotate at the NIH CC and to interact with members of a clinical research team, thus acquiring a better perspective on clinical research protocol implementation and the requirements of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the NIH.
