Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created unprecedented obstacles for new investigators to traverse. The pandemic's impact exacerbates inequities for groups historically excluded from science. We provide recommendations to support junior faculty, including women and faculty from groups historically excluded from science, in establishing laboratories during the pandemic and foreseeable future.
