covid testing  

WVU researchers Brian Hendricks and Brad Price are using machine learning and geographic information systems to identify communities in West Virginia where COVID-vaccine uptake is especially low. What the technology reveals can help get testing resources to the people who need them the most: those who live where low vaccination rates make persistent, localized outbreaks likely.

The WVU Research Office has a plan to advance the University’s electronic research portal. Officials at the Research Office, led by its Vice President Fred King, believe the time is ripe for investing in a robust portal to improve efficiency and effectiveness. This summer, researchers will have a chance to view various modules and offer feedback. Informational sessions and presentations will be made available by the vendors.
