Eligible Activities
The Long COVID Program prioritizes evidence-informed actions; however, because the evidence
around long COVID and related conditions is still emerging, we will consider projects based around promising strategies as well as research.
- Promising strategies include practices that come from the local community that may be based on practice-based evidence (PBE) and/or lived experiences of communities. PBE includes a range of approaches that are developed over time through practice and experience. PBE approaches are often embedded in the culture, accepted as effective by local communities, and support community healing from a cultural framework.
- Research-based projects include projects that can be tied to and/or include elements that draw from published literature, including both qualitative and quantitative studies.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible applicants for this competitive process may include but are not limited to:
- Nonprofit and for-profit organizations
- Community-based organizations
- Local and Tribal public health
- Social service organizations
- Patient, caregiver, and/or peer support groups or networks
- Entities offering disability-related services, such as support for legal issues related to disability from long COVID or assistance navigating health care or support services
- Universities or colleges
- Community clinics, hospital systems, health care and mental health providers, and associations representing providers (primary, specialty, and ancillary care included)
- Employers
- Schools and school nurses
- Media organizations, including those that represent/reach diverse communities such as African American, immigrant, Asian Pacific Islanders, American Indian, Hispanic/Latino(a), or LGBTQIA+ communities and people with disabilities
