NIH’s approach to test therapeutic interventions for Long COVID is evolving. We will apply lessons learned from NIH Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) studies and trials to develop a new program called RECOVER-Treating Long COVID (RECOVER-TLC). RECOVER-TLC will call upon the research community to help identify promising therapeutic approaches and study designs that will produce results that are needed by those affected by Long COVID. We need input from the research and Long COVID communities to ensure RECOVER-TLC can be a success. A kick-off meeting will be held September 23-25. Check back to this page for registration updates: https://lnkd.in/g4V4cUfT #LongCOVID #NIHRECOVER

NIH is taking steps to re-envision the postdoctoral training experience, but the feedback of the biomedical research community is a crucial part of this process. Among the actions under consideration are: ➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers. ➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars. ➡️Enhancing training and professional development for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors. Share your feedback by October 23, 2024: https://go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD
