(AP) Maine’s largest health network is set to receive nearly $1 million from the National Institutes of Health to study how to make regular coronavirus testing more accessible for immigrants and low-income and homeless residents.

MaineHealth said Dr. Kathleen Fairfield of Maine Medical Center and the Maine Medical Center Research Institute will lead the study along with Maine Medical Center Research Institute vice president of research Dr. Elizabeth Jacobs.

Fairfield said the study is about “how we make COVID-19 testing accessible and acceptable to populations who are at higher risk of contracting COVID, and build trust with the medical community.”
