Rutgers RWJMS Seeks Children and Young Adult Participants in Long COVID Study

RECOVER is a research project that aims to learn about the long-term health effects of COVID. Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) has been awarded a $30 million+ grant from the NIH to help lead a study on the long-term and delayed impacts of COVID-19 in children and young adults.

This study is designed to answer these questions:

-How many children get Long COVID?

-Why do some children get Long COVID and others do not?

-What symptoms do children feel when they get Long COVID?

-How long do children feel sick when they get Long COVID?

-What causes Long COVID to happen in children?

-How does having Long COVID affect children's physical and mental health and development as they grow?

Eligible subjects include infants, children, adolescents, and young adults through 25 years of age. Infection with COVID is not necessary to participate. The study's first phase includes a home questionnaire and blood and saliva samples provided from the comfort of your home. 

The second and third phases involve more in-depth bloodwork and testing, such as lung function testing, brain imaging, and cognitive testing.  

For more information or to express interest in participating in the study, please email recover_clock@rwjms.rutgers.edu
