Continued Impact of COVID-19 on Biomedical Research
It’s been over eight months since the COVID-19 pandemic crisis struck, changing every facet of life as we knew it.

At the time, we offered our perspectives on efforts we could take to cushion the shock. Since that time, much has happened. COVID-19 research has blossomed with impressive results including FDA approval of a therapeutic agent (remdesivir, which was found to have value in a large-scale NIH-funded trial), development of several candidate vaccines that have already made to piv...

An Early Look at Applications Submitted During the Pandemic
It has been four months since the COVID-19
pandemic shuttered
laboratories and clinical studies across the country and the world. On April 10, only a few weeks into the
pandemic, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) published
a report on the “Effects of COVID-19 on the Federal
Research and Development Enterprise.”
The report described the consequences of social distancing and other
pandemic mitigation measures. These
consequences included laboratory closures, de-prioritized projects, cancellation
of meetings and conferences, loss of revenue, disrupted personnel processes
(e.g. graduation, promotio...
