The Lifecycle Giving Program matches processed diagnostic COVID-19 tests with researchers validating new technologies. Testing labs get paid for participating and remaining proceeds go toward funding testing programs for vulnerable and underserved populations. CoVerified pays for and arranges shipping.
Unmet demand
Researchers need control samples to validate new technologies and will happily pay for a reputable supply of both positive and negative PCR tests.
Wasted supply
Labs throw away tens of thousands of used swabs every day that could be used as controls by researchers.
Populations in dire need
Six months into the pandemic, there are still a multitude of vulnerable and underserved populations that cannot afford adequate access to testing.
