Long COVID Grant Awards
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), announced nine grant awards of $1 million each for up to 5 years to support existing multidisciplinary Long COVID clinics across the country to expand access to comprehensive, coordinated, and person-centered care for people with Long COVID, particularly underserved, rural, vulnerable, and minority populations that are disproportionately impacted by the effects of Long COVID.
The grants are a first of their kind, designed to expand access and care, develop and implement new or improved care delivery models, foster best practices for Long COVID management, and support the primary care community in Long COVID education and management. This initiative is part of a whole-of-government effort by the Biden-Harris Administration to accelerate scientific progress and provide individuals with Long COVID the support and services they need. In addition, AHRQ has awarded a complementary contract to promote success and peer-to-peer learning of grantees through a learning community, evaluate overall success of the Long COVID initiative across grantees, and share initiative findings.
