Continued impact of COVID-19 pandemic on clinical and translational science early-career researchers. J Clin Transl Sci. 2022;7(1):e7. Published 2022 Dec 7. doi:10.1017/cts.2022.511https://hdl.handle.net/1805/42891The COVID-19 pandemic had an immediate impact on the lives and work of early-career researchers. We leveraged a cluster-randomized trial and compared survey data collected over two timepoints to explore whether these impacts persisted. Although more than a year had passed, 74% of participants reported that their research was affected in multiple ways in both 2020 and 2021. These data suggest that the effects of the pandemic on early-career researchers may be prolonged. Our findings additionally serve as an impetus to identify and implement solutions to early-career challenges that undoubtedly existed before the pandemic, but which COVID-19 brought into the spotlight.en-USAttribution 4.0 InternationalCOVID-19Career developmentEarly-career researchersArticle
