NIHR Call for Research proposals addressing long-term COVID-19 effects in non-hospitalised individuals

Posted by: Julie Simpson - Posted on:

The Department of Health and Social Care, through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) are jointly funding major studies to characterise acute and longer-term disease in hospitalised patients e.g. the UK-wide ISARIC-4C and Post hospitalisation COVID-19 (PHOSP-COVID) study. The NIHR and UKRI are now launching a UK-wide further joint research call of up to £20m to fund ambitious and comprehensive research into understanding, mitigating and addressing the longer term, physical and mental health effects, of COVID-19 in non-hospitalised individuals.

Projects are expected to start early in the New Year and may be funded for up to 3 years in the first instance.
