NATIONAL ACADEMIES OF SCIENCES, ENGINEERING, AND MEDICINE: Call for Nominations: Examining the Working Definition for Long Covid
Posted about 1 year ago by Annette T Maruca in Announcement
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is searching for experts to be considered for the activity titled Examining the Working Definition for Long COVID to discuss the current U.S. Government (USG) working definition for Long COVID and related technical terms.
The activity will be designed to
- Explore literature on definitions for Long Covid in the United States, including but not limited to definitions that are currently used for clinical care, research, surveillance, and health communication
- Learn about challenges and barriers due to currently available definitions for Long Covid
- Seek input from various stakeholder groups relating to refinement, dissemination, and implementation of a definition for Long Covid
The activity will be carried out by a committee of approximately 10-12 volunteer experts from health research and policy; clinical practice, guidelines, and research; federal, state, local, tribal and territorial policymakers; infectious diseases; public health; social and behavioral sciences; decision science; legal and bioethics; patients and community; and health equity.
The National Academies are committed to enhancing diversity and inclusion in order to strengthen the quality of our work. Diverse perspectives contribute to finding innovative approaches and solutions to challenging issues. We encourage the nomination of volunteers who reflect the populations we serve and also welcome in particular nominations of candidates from underrepresented racial, ethnic, gender and sexual identity groups, people with disabilities, and early- and mid-career professionals.
To submit nominations for the committee members for the activity by 5 PM ET on Friday, February 24, 2023.
