SEEKING PARTICIPANTS FOR RESEARCH

Recovered from COVID? Help UNT researchers understand recovery

Help UNT researchers understand how COVID affects thinking and memory (even in people without Long COVID symptoms).

Do You Qualify?

We’re enrolling a small group (up to 6 participants) who tested positive for COVID and do not currently have “brain fog,” memory issues, or changes in sense of smell. The study includes two short computer-based testing sessions over 2 days. Participants receive a $100 gift card.

  • Who this is for: Adults who had COVID at least 3 months but no longer than 12 months prior to today.
  • No Brain Fog, Changes in sense of Smell, Memory issues, trouble concentrating
  • Time: About 4–5 hours total across 2 days
  • Where: Day 1 is at home computer based test; Day 2 is in-person at Long Covid Clinics of North Texas (Allen, TX)
  • Compensation: $100 gift card
  • Next step: Fill out the form — a researcher will confirm eligibility and schedule you

Before You Apply

Please don’t submit this form if:

  • You haven’t tested positive for COVID, or
  • Your positive test was less than 3 months ago or more than 12 months ago, or
  • You currently have brain fog, memory issues, or changes in sense of smell (we have a separate signup for symptomatic participants below).
If you have symptoms please signup to the symptomatic study.

Check your eligibility

Why We’re Doing This Study

Researchers at the University of North Texas are studying how COVID exposure/infection may relate to thinking and memory. Many people with Long COVID (also called PASC) report symptoms like “brain fog” and memory changes — and we also need participants who recovered without ongoing symptoms so we can compare results accurately.

What Participation Looks Like (2 Days)

This study is designed to be straightforward and low-lift:

Day 1

  1. Computer-based testing (at-home)
    You’ll complete computerized testing of mental processing

Day 2

  1. Computer-based testing (in-person) at the clinic location in Allen:
    Long Covid Clinics of North Texas
    981 State Hwy 121 #4150, Allen, TX 75013

Total time

  • About 4–5 hours total across the two days

Compensation

  • $100 gift card after participation
