susceptibility, routes of infection, course of disease and

adverse outcomes, including death due to COVID-19 in

people with diseases of interest to NIDDK; identifying

mechanisms responsible for acute and chronic organ

and system dysfunction and sequalae due to infection,

in the presence or absence of diseases of interest to

NIDDK; or contributing to an understanding of the many

roles of health disparities in risk of infection, organ injury

and adverse outcomes; among others.
