The 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 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.
新冠疫情对初入职场的研究人员的生活和工作产生了直接影响。我们利用一项整群随机试验，比较了在两个时间点收集的调查数据，以探究这些影响是否持续存在。尽管已经过去了一年多，但74%的参与者报告称，他们的研究在2020年和2021年受到了多方面的影响。这些数据表明，疫情对初入职场的研究人员的影响可能会持续很长时间。我们的研究结果还促使我们去识别并实施针对初入职场所面临挑战的解决方案，这些挑战在疫情之前无疑就已存在，但新冠疫情使其成为了焦点。
