COVID-19 impact on early career investigators: a call for action

Ross L Levine et al. Nat Rev Cancer. 2020 Jul.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has broadly impacted biomedical research and health care. Here we discuss current challenges for the cancer research community as they apply to early career investigators (ECIs). We propose a series of collaborative initiatives aimed to sustain ECIs and preserve and accelerate the ability to innovate with long-lasting impact.
