Led by Priya Duggal, Bryan Lau, and Shruti Mehta, the Johns Hopkins COVID Long Study aims to better understand the long-term effects of COVID-19. It is open to people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or have experienced COVID-19 symptoms. Researchers are looking to recruit 25,000 participants.
Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE) Study
The Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE) study is a research study investigating two different treatments that may promote healthy aging and cognitive health in older adults. These treatments include a successful aging education program and a hearing loss program. Study participants will be randomly selected to either receive the successful aging education or the hearing program. Drs. Frank Lin and Josef Coresh co-lead this study.
