In this week’s COVID-19 Grand Rounds session, Dr. Gregory Marcus of the University of California, San Francisco, will present “The COVID-19 Citizen Science Study.” The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, January 29, at 1:00 pm eastern. Join the online meeting.

The Citizen Science Study is using a smartphone-based research platform to engage “citizen scientists” in advancing understanding of COVID-19. By collecting information from tens of thousands of participants, researchers hope to gain insights into how the coronavirus is spreading, identify ways to reduce the number of new infections, and determine how COVID-19 is affecting individuals and populations.

The NIH Collaboratory Coordinating Center is using its popular Grand Rounds platform to share late-breaking research and promote resources in support of clinical researchers affected by the COVID-19 public health emergency.
