If you join this study, we will:
- Ask you to donate a blood or saliva sample for research use. We will use this to study your DNA.
- Work with you or your healthcare provider to fill out a survey about your personal health history and experience with your COVID-19 symptoms. This should take less than 30 minutes to complete.
- Contact you one time up to a year after your enrollment to complete a follow-up survey about your ongoing experience with COVID-19 symptoms.
We offer compensation of up to $70 for completing these study activities.
Privacy and confidentiality are very important to us. We know this is especially important for NIH employees and their families.
If you are an NIH employee (including contractors) or are related to an NIH employee, please refer to the For NIH Employees section below.
All information shared with us will be coded. We will not return individual results. After you fill out the survey and donate your blood or saliva sample, we will limit our continued contact with you to only obtain updates on your health.
We intend for this study to help other patients benefit from this research. If you are interested, please contact us at COVIDcode@nih.gov or (240) 274-6777. Participation is completely voluntary. Indicating interest in the study does not obligate you to participate, and you can withdraw at any time.
