As always, I'm curious to hear what folks in the #LongCOVID community think of the news!

The section entitled "New pathobiology awards" has some good statements worth highlighting (haven't had a chance to do that yet but did put it on my to-do list).

Yes! We have shared the RFI info a few times at The Sick Times and will continue to remind folks about the opportunity.

I’m happy to see more funding directed at clinical trials but I’m still not seeing enough attention on how this will translate to patient care. Doctors have expressed not being able to find a hub for the latest clinical trials & data, and patients are still complaining about the trial and findings

from the trial not leading to any improved patient care w their doctors. The doctors are telling them “ask the recover team” & recover is telling them 🤷🏽‍♀️ this is just an experiment. More fuel for the car is good but not if the car is unable to properly drive. Idk the fix but it should be addressed

to be ethical. From my very n=1 moderately uninformed opinion lol
