Featured FAQ

What is the University of Oregon’s COVID-19 Monitoring and Assessment Program?

The COVID-19 Monitoring and Assessment Program (MAP) was created in spring 2020 to develop and expand the university’s testing capacity for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
The program leverages the research strengths of the UO, including experts in genomics, data science, prevention science, and other areas.
The MAP team has expanded testing capacity to about 4,000 tests per week. All asymptomatic residents of Lane County are invited to participate in testing. We particularly encourage students living off campus in group or apartment living settings, faculty and employees whose work requires them to be on campus, and underserved communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to sign up for testing using the MAP registration portal.
