COVID-19 Research Impact - Pulse 1

The document is a summary of a recurring survey, titled "COVID-19 Research Impact – Pulse 1," designed to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected research activities at various institutions, particularly those involved in academic and medical research. Participants are asked to provide contact information, specify their type of institution (such as degree-granting or academic medical centers), and estimate the current operational level of on-campus research compared to pre-pandemic activity. The survey includes questions about fiscal changes, such as faculty and staff furloughs or salary adjustments, and seeks to gauge institutions' plans and status for reopening research operations, offering multiple timelines and alternative plans as response options. Additionally, it inquires into respondents’ confidence in meeting research obligations and deadlines post-ramp-up, especially in relation to funder expectations. At the conclusion, respondents are informed they will receive a summary of findings and are directed to further resources for institutional and agency responses to the pandemic, underscoring the collaborative effort to track and manage the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on the research community.
