The Toolkit will be overseen by a scientific board, a clinical board and a patient committee. One of the founders of the Toolkit is an epidemiologist.

This is how you can help as a researcher of healthcare provider: 

• Review and improve the classification system we developed, based on the GRADE system. 

• Use our classification system to summarize scientific information about supplements, medications and paramedical therapies (such as pacing). 

• Help develop resources about treatment strategies such as pacing, vagus nerve stimulation, etc.

• Help assess diagnostic self-tests for common symptoms and problems such as POTS and PEM.

• Be part of our clinical board, that oversees what content is published in what way. 

• Be part of our scientific board, that oversees and helps improve the classification system.

• Once the first version of the Toolkit website is online (summer 2023): review treatments from your clinical experience.

This is how we work: 

• The Long Covid Toolkit is a not-for-profit initiative. We will work volunteers and a small paid staff. Anyone contributing more than 40 hours of their time is eligible for a paid position. 

• We work in a distributed team via Discord (chat) and Trello(tasks manager). 

• Your contributions can be anonymous if you prefer, as long as one of the team members can verify your background.
