OMAHA- The University of Nebraska Medical Center is participating in a $450 million national grant that will study roughly 40,000 adults and children across the country to gain a better grip on the full scope of post-COVID symptoms.

The project is set to span for 4 years and aims to improve treatment, knowledge, and health outcomes. This research project is being funded by the National Institutes of Health.

“It’s important that we understand what post-COVID looks like. It will help us understand the future of American health care, since most Americans have had it,” said David Warren, the UNMC co-principal investigator of the research study.

Participants tapped for the research could be asked to make two to four visits a year during the study period lasting up to four years, according to a UNMC statement. They could be asked for information about health, symptoms, physical activity and sleep between visits as well as getting a medical checkup. In some cases, they may be eligible to receive medical tests.

UNMC will look for about 85 individuals to get the study underway.
