Sen. Sanders & several co-sponsors are trying to get $1 billion a year for 10 years funded in a long covid 'moonshot.' The bill is written to FORCE NIH to do certain things, like fund accelerated trials & ensure that similar conditions like ME/CFS are studied alongside long covid.
I don't know it's chances of passing but here's a good write-up of what's in the bill.
