In what is sure to be good news for many, scientists are optimistic about new evidence into what is causing long COVID.

The NIH is funding this “Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery” project using $470 million from the American Rescue Plan. Investigators at NYU Langone Health are leading the effort and plan to share the wealth by funding more than 100 researchers at more than 30 institutions to create a"meta-cohort" to study long COVID.
