I stumbled on this funding opportunity from the UCSF Microbiome Center so I thought I'd post...No idea if it could be a fit.. e.g., Is there a possibility of pitching a study linking covid (or viruses in general) to interaction w microbiome with the result of post viral fatigue? I know OMF just got a grant to study this or something similar, and I don't know if that impedes the chances or makes them better ..
