A survey of principal investigators indicates that female scientists, those in the \u2018bench sciences\u2019 and, especially, scientists with young children experienced a substantial decline in time devoted to research. This could have important short- and longer-term effects on their careers, which institution leaders and funders need to address carefully.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly disrupted the scientific enterprise. Policymakers and institutional leaders have already begun to respond to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on researchers. For instance, many universities are making accommodations for their researchers, and the US government has allowed temporary flexibility in grant conditions<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41562-020-0921-y#ref-CR1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.
