The Landscape of Observational COVID-19 Cohort Studies Funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

ABSTRACT: The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since late 2019 represented an unprecedented public health emergency, which included a need to fully understand coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) across all ages and populations. In response, the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) rapidly funded epidemiology studies that monitored COVID-19. However, the diversity and breadth of the populations studied in NIAID-funded COVID-19 observational cohorts were not easy to extrapolate because of siloed approaches to collect and report data within NIAID. Here, we describe the effort to develop a harmonized cohort-study reporting tool that includes common epidemiologic data elements as well as NIAID priorities. We report its implementation to an
