Rapidresponse to CBRN, pandemic influenza and emerging infectious disease threats requires a robust investment in diagnostics and devices across the spectrum of advanced research & development, stockpiling and domestic manufacturing capacity expansion.

Investing in innovative diagnostics and devices to detect or prevent the medical consequences that result from pandemic influenza and emerging infectious diseases. Explore the investment of each of our key teams and product areas


The National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative to speed innovation in the development, commercialization, and implementation of technologies for COVID-19 testing. Accurate, fast, easy-to-use, and widely accessible testing is required before the nation can safely return to normal life.


NIH is working to expand testing development and distribution across the country, in partnership with sibling and other government organizations such as the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Through this effort, we will strive to better understand the range of testing methods and approaches through engagement with specific communities, including those in underserved areas and with vulnerable populations.


The rapid worldwide spread and impact of COVID-19 has created a need for accurate, reliable, and readily accessible testing on a massive scale. Returning safely to normal life depends on our ability to streamline and speed up the testing process. However, this is no small feat. The tests must provide accurate, quick results with as few false negatives and false positives as possible. Testing must also be inexpensive, user friendly, widely accessible in a variety of settings and locations, and able to detect people who are asymptomatic. Most importantly, we need to understand barriers to being tested, even when tests are accessible.


To meet this challenge, RADx created programs that will make it possible to rapidly scale-up testing across the country and enhance access to those most in need. While diagnostic testing has long been a mainstay of public health, newer technologies offer patient- and user-friendly designs that work with cellphones, for example, to lower cost and increase accessibility both at home and at the point of care.


The RADx initiative has introduced innovative approaches to testing that have resulted in enhanced testing capabilities, improvements in diagnostics and detection, and improved implementation strategies for reaching underserved and vulnerable populations. These documents capture the knowledge gained and lessons learned from RADx, offering insights on how to rapidly address gaps in diagnostics and detection strategies during future public health crises.


To address the lack of access to tests and testing services in multiple countries, WHO since 2018 has published a yearly essential diagnostics list (EDL), a basket of recommended in vitro diagnostics that should be available at point-of-care\r\n and in laboratories in all countries to increase timely and life-saving diagnoses.\r\n


The use of accurate, quality diagnostics is the first step in the development and implementation of strategies for treatment, control, and in many cases prevention of disease and outbreaks. Their critical role in the health system has been brought into\r\n sharp focus by the current COVID-19 pandemic.


As well as tests intended for use in laboratories, the EDL recommends numerous diagnostics that should be available at primary care or community level. This is particularly important for rural areas in low- and middle-income countries, where medical facilities\r\n and equipment may be lacking and health providers are often forced to make treatment decisions based solely on patient symptoms.


The recommendations in the list are based on robust evidence and take into account country suitability. The process is overseen by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on In Vitro Diagnostics (SAGE IVD), a group of specialists from around the world\r\n with long standing experience in the field of IVDs and their implementation, their use, regulation and evaluation. The experts evaluate data on the usefulness, impact and accuracy of each test considered in order to decide which should be recommended.

Over the years, since our foundation in Japan in 1950, we have built a strong tradition of innovating, developing, manufacturing and marketing high-quality in vitro diagnostics testing solutions worldwide.

With Query Diagnostics, you can achieve a better understanding of what Power Query is doing at authoring and at refresh time in Power BI Desktop. While we'll be expanding on this feature in the future, including adding the ability to use it during full refreshes, at this time you can use it to understand what sort of queries you're emitting, what slowdowns you might run into during authoring refresh, and what kind of background events are happening.


By default, Query Diagnostics might require administrative rights to run (depending on IT policy). If you find yourself unable to run Query Diagnostics, open the Power BI options page, and in the Diagnostics tab, select Enable in Query Editor (does not require running as admin). This selection constrains you from being able to trace diagnostics when doing a full refresh into Power BI rather than the Power Query editor, but does allow you to still use it when previewing, authoring, and so on.


When you press Diagnose Step, Power Query runs a special evaluation of just the step you're looking at. It then shows you the diagnostics for that step, without showing you the diagnostics for other steps in the query. This can make it much easier to get a narrow view into a problem.


It's important that if you're recording all traces from Start Diagnostics that you press Stop diagnostics. Stopping the diagnostics allows the engine to collect the recorded traces and parse them into the proper output. Without this step, you'll lose your traces.


The first of these diagnostics are the primary diagnostics, which have a detailed view and a summarized view. The summarized view is aimed to give you an immediate insight into where time is being spent in your query. The detailed view is much deeper, line by line, and is, in general, only needed for serious diagnosing by power users.


Query diagnostics provides two views: summarized and detailed. The summarized view "collapses" multiple related operations into a single operation. In this process, details collected by each operation are combined, and the exclusive durations are summed. No information is lost as part of this process.


The summarized view provides an overview of what occurred during an evaluation for easy high-level review. If further breakdown is wanted for a specific operation, the user can look at the group ID and view the corresponding operations that were grouped in the detail view.


When refreshing in the Power Query editor, there's a lot done behind the scenes to attempt to give you a fluent user experience. As an example, when you Refresh Preview, the evaluator will execute the final step of each given Query. But then in the background it sequentially runs n-1 steps, n-2, steps, and so on, so that if you step back through your steps, it's already available.


To provide higher performance, currently some caching happens so that it doesn't have to rerun every part of the final query plan as it goes back through the steps. While this caching is useful for normal authoring, it means that you won't always get correct step comparison information because of later evaluations pulling on cached data.


The second number represents an evaluation by the engine. This number is sequential for the lifetime of the process where the evaluation is queued. If you run multiple diagnostics recording sessions, you'll see this number continue to grow across the different sessions.


To summarize, if you start recording, press evaluation once, and stop recording, you'll have some number of Ids in your diagnostics. But since you only took one action, they'll all be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on.
