Project Quaker testing program key to a safe campus reopening Developed in partnership with Penn Medicine, the program aims to conduct 40,000 COVID-19 tests each week and will support ongoing plans to bring students back to campus this spring. A large-scale COVID-19 screening program known as “Project Quaker” is being rolled out across campus. The program relies on saliva-based samples which are processed and analyzed in a newly-established testing facility in Stemmler Hall. A coordinated campus testing plan for COVID-19 that relies on saliva-based tests had its soft launch in early December. The large-scale COVID-19 screening program known as Project Quaker will allow COVID-19 to be tracked and mitigated at Penn and is an essential component for plans to bring students back to campus safely for the spring semester.
