Research on Mechanisms Underlying Cardiovascular Consequences Associated with COVID-19 and Long COVID
RFA   https://professional.heart.org/en/research-programs/strategically-focused-research/long-covid-cv-consequences-grant?utm_source=long%20covid%20rfa&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email+long+covid+rfa
The American Heart Association (AHA) is accepting research proposals to better understand the mechanism(s) underlying cardiac, vascular and cerebrovascular effects of COVID-19 and Long COVID, as well as mechanisms that contribute to differential susceptibility to Long COVID.
 Proposals are sought that will utilize contemporary and innovative approaches to assess tissue damage and/or dysfunction of the heart and vasculature/cerebrovascular, and/or potential associated dysregulation of various signaling pathways and systems. Proposals directed toward leveraging basic mechanistic discoveries, including identification of biomarkers, to develop therapeutic approaches for cardiovascular consequences of COVID are also of interest. Due to the heterogeneity of Long COVID, important insights into key mechanistic underpinnings and potential treatment strategies are most likely to be achieved in participant populations with well-characterized phenotypes.

UIowa Completion/Routing deadline:  January 25, 2022.
AHA deadline:  February 1, 2022.

Please complete the UI Routing Form/process to secure departmental and collegiate approvals at least five business days before the AHA submission deadline.
IMPORTANT:  In section 7, titled “Institution and Personnel,” the PI-applicants must
