Differential Professional and Personal Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Early Career Researchers
The pandemic had significant, largely negative, and unequal impacts on ECRs. Underrepresented ECRs were particularly susceptible to pandemic disruptions, potentially exacerbating existing challenges. Individual- and organizational-level interventions are critical to rejuvenate and sustain the early career research pathway. These interventions will foster the success of the next generation of biomedical scientists and the future of scientific advancement.
