COMPASS-T Study Team

The COMPASS-T project is a joint partnership between the Washington University in St. Louis Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, the University of Missouri-Kansas City Institute of Human Development, the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Maryland, and the Special School District of St. Louis County in Missouri. Other key collaborators include the Brown School Evaluation Center, the Health Communication Research Laboratory, and the Institute for Informatics at Washington University. This work is supported by the National Institutes of Health through the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics—Underserved Populations (RADx-UP) Program (P50HD103525-01S1).

We thank the Genome Technology Access Center in the McDonnell Genome Institute at Washington University School of Medicine for help with the SARS-CoV-2 saliva testing, as well as the Department of Pathology and Immunology for access to one of their CAP/CLIA laboratories as well as their expertise in development of the saliva SARS-CoV-2 testing.
