This grant aims to bolster healthcare resilience against COVID-19 and future public health crises. While direct clinical COVID-19 research is covered elsewhere, this opportunity specifically funds studies on digital health interventions, such as mobile health, telemedicine, and wearable devices. The purpose is to address secondary health effects – including behavioral health and chronic condition management – arising during and after the pandemic. Research should explore the effectiveness, accessibility, delivery, scalability, and sustainability of these digital tools. A key focus is on reaching and benefiting populations experiencing health disparities and other vulnerable groups, thereby strengthening responses to complex health challenges.

Description: | This funding opportunity announcement aims to support research to strengthen the healthcare response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and future public health emergencies, including pandemics. While research related to the direct clinical effects of COVID-19 are supported by other funding opportunities, the purpose of this funding opportunity is to focus on the role and impact of digital health interventions [e.g., mobile health (mhealth), telemedicine and telehealth, health information technology (IT), and wearable devices] to address access, reach, delivery, effectiveness, scalability and sustainability of health assessments and interventions for secondary effects (e.g., behavioral health or self-management of chronic conditions) that are utilized during and following the pandemic, particularly in populations who experience health disparities and vulnerable populations. |
