RECOVER: Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery

Professionals wearing masks

The NIH-sponsored Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative was established to learn about the long-term effects of COVID. Help us find answers by sharing your experience and volunteering to participate in research. RECOVER seeks to understand, prevent, and treat long-term health effects related to COVID. Researchers call these long-lasting effects PASC (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2). You may know them as Long COVID.

To understand Long COVID, we need to hear from people who’ve experienced it and people who had COVID and recovered quickly. You can also help us learn about the long-term effects of COVID — so we can find ways to prevent and treat them. We can also learn about COVID from people who have not had COVID.

Enrollment criteria

How can I enroll in the study?

The RECOVER Initiative includes more than 30 research teams and over 17,500 participants across the country to study the post-acute sequela of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study does not provide treatment, but study participants may receive in-depth testing as part of the study. All procedures and testing are completely optional and are provided through the study at no cost to the participant. We will enroll over 360 adults through our Colorado sites and follow participants for up to four years.
