Strategies for High Impact (S4HI) has joined over 55 other groups to endorse the Long Covid Research Moonshot Act, which provides $10 billion over 10 years for the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), plus additional funding for related programs.
This bill will invest in much-needed research, treatment, care, and health education for LC and associated diseases. And we know that we’ll need to keep the pressure on and continue advocating for pandemic justice & health equity.
We’re calling for:
➡ significant patient and community involvement in all areas of the bill’s implementation including the Advisory Board - prioritizing voices from groups disproportionately affected by LC like Black, Latiné, trans, queer, and disabled people
➡ support for trials of therapeutics prioritized by post-viral experts and patient groups in the Long COVID, ME/CFS, and dysautonomia communities (don’t repeat the mistakes of the RECOVER trials!)
