Rutgers seeks to identify risk factors for severe illness in children from COVID-19

E-Mail
Rutgers researchers have been awarded $1.6 million from the National Institutes of Health in support of the creation of a national collaborative network seeking to identify risk and protective factors that may allow clinicians or public health professionals to predict which children are at greatest risk for serious illness from SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19.
While children are less likely than adults to become severely ill, some develop severe acute respiratory illness; they also are susceptible to multisystem inflammatory syndrome of children (MIS-C), a critical illness that can occur several weeks after infection.
The two-year grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the NIH will support the development of a national network of networks, thus building an infrastructure that ensures that children from around the country can be a part of the study. The project is designed ....

BETHESDA, Maryland., Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ The National Institutes of Health has awarded eight research grants to develop approaches for identifying children at high risk for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a rare and severe after-effect of COVID-19 or exposure to the virus that causes it. Up to $20 million will be provided for the projects over four years, pending the availability of funds.
These awards underscore NIH s commitment to identifying children at risk for MIS-C, which will inform development of interventions to improve their health outcomes, said Diana Bianchi, M.D., director of NIH s ....
