"Learning is difficult in the midst of an emergency" [7] , but our ability to deliver timely, high-impact clinical research, relevant to patients and populations, is critical across the academic spectrum [8] , from "bench to bedside to big data", whether basic biology, repurposed and novel therapeutic approaches, vaccines or modelling. Our aims were to: (i) model potential impact of the pandemic on clinical academic capacity in England relating to COVID-19; and (ii) develop evidence-based recommendations to inform the optimal scientific response to COVID-19. ./cache/cord-282202-q2q4vies.txt ./txt/cord-282202-q2q4vies.txt
