Babies whose mothers had COVID while pregnant will help RECOVER researchers understand how the mother’s COVID case could impact childhood development.
On January 13, 2026, RECOVER hosted the second webinar in its 2-part series to help prospective researchers use biosamples from the initiative’s observational studies. RECOVER has made over 1.4 million biosamples available for study across the human lifespan, including 24,000 samples from its tissue pathology (autopsy) study. This webinar is part of the RECOVER Research Review (R3) Seminar Series, which brings the scientific community together to accelerate diagnosing, preventing, and treating Long COVID.
In 2025, RECOVER’s progress included closing the first phase of its adult observational study and publishing its first clinical trial results. This year, the initiative continues its studies and sharing research findings.
In a study published in JAMA Pediatrics, RECOVER researchers analyzed data from over 4,500 school-aged children and adolescents to understand the relationship between social risk factors and the risk for developing Long COVID.
On December 9, 2025, the RECOVER Initiative hosted the first webinar in a two-part series to help researchers use data from the initiative’s observational studies to advance Long COVID research. This webinar is part of the RECOVER Research Review (R3) Seminar Series, which brings the scientific community together to accelerate diagnosing, preventing, and treating Long COVID.
Researchers across the initiative continue to refine methods to accurately identify Long COVID, learn more about potential treatments, and understand how the condition impacts different groups of people.
Biostatisticians and clinicians work together to help funded study teams access resources stored in RECOVER’s biorepository, a unique collection of biosamples from almost 30,000 adults and children.
A study from Mass General Brigham followed 3,659 adults to identify eight different paths that Long COVID can take, based on symptoms and length of illness. The results will inform future studies and possible treatments for Long COVID.
