Stay informed about RECOVER’s Long COVID research by reading the latest news and participating in upcoming events.

During the December 10th RECOVER Research Review (R3) Seminar, researchers described a recent pathobiology study investigating viral persistence, or when SARS-CoV-2 remains in a person’s body and continues to cause changes even after they recover from their initial sickness. The study’s findings suggest that viral persistence could be one reason why some people experience certain symptoms of Long COVID.
In 2024, RECOVER continued to advance scientific understanding of Long COVID through observational studies, clinical trials, and community engagement.
The $662 million in funds received in 2024 will ensure that researchers can continue making progress toward understanding, diagnosing, preventing, and treating Long COVID through 2029.
Recent findings from across RECOVER’s five research areas could improve our ability to identify people with Long COVID, understand the underlying causes of their symptoms, and provide them with care and treatment.
Six new RECOVER research publications report findings from the initiative’s pathobiology, observational, and electronic health record (EHR) studies.
Findings from this RECOVER study will inform future efforts to develop tools for diagnosing Long COVID.
Gary Gibbons, M.D., Walter Koroshetz, M.D., and Jeanne Marrazzo, M.D., M.P.H. of the NIH answer questions about investing an additional $515 million in RECOVER's Long COVID research efforts.
This additional funding will build on and continue RECOVER's work to improve our understanding of and ability to diagnose, prevent, and treat Long COVID.
