The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest is to encourage applications in three areas related to the intersection of COVID-19, the associated mitigation actions, and rehabilitation:
- Encourage research to address the rehabilitation needs of survivors of COVID-19
- Understand the impact of disruptions to rehabilitation services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated mitigation actions
- Understand the social, behavioral, economic, and health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated mitigation actions on people with physical disabilities
Research applications addressing these topics are considered responsive; not all topics are expected within the same application. Applications will be directed to the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR) at NICHD.
