Papers, preprints, events and other information on COVID-19

March 26, 2020 By Chris Pickett

This post will be updated periodically. If you have scientific research resources to add, please share them in the comments section below.

The emergence of SARS-CoV2 and the spread of COVID-19 is a global emergency. In response, biomedical researchers across the world have mobilized to rapidly improve our understanding of the virus and the disease it causes.

The following is a list of repositories for scientists looking for coronavirus and COVID-19 information (compiled by Jessica Polka, Executive Director of ASAPbio and RBR member).

Repositories and curated collections of COVID-19 research:

  • The COVID-19 Research Registry from the American Society for Microbiology
  • The COVID-19 Portfolio from the National Institutes of Health
  • COVID repository curated by the World Health Organization
  • COVID repository curated by The Lens
  • CORD-19 curated by The Allen Institute

Sites to find additional COVID preprints:

  • bioRxiv & medRxiv
  • In Review from Springer Nature
  • Preprints.org
  • OSF preprints
  • Bulletin of the WHO

Also, you can check out the semiweekly updates from the UCSF Infectious Diseases Task Force and view a Grand Rounds from UCSF doctors focused specifically on COVID-19 posted on Mar. 20.

Information from the National Institutes of Health on COVID-19:

  • FAQ: COVID-19 flexibilities for applicants and recipients, including information on donating lab resources and paying lab workers who are now working in public health facilities.
  • FAQ: Proposal submission and award management related to COVID-19
  • Guidance for NIH-funded clinical trials and human subjects studies affected by COVID-19
  • General NIH information on COVID-19

Additional resources:

  • Seminar on the biology of coronaviruses
  • How some cities ‘flattened the curve’ during the 1918 flu pandemic (National Geographic)

(1) The training model thus far is that of the medieval apprentice- a trainee is to become a clone of his/her supervisor. (2) Trainees are rarely permitted to conduct work not expressly assigned/approved by supervisor. (3) Training goals for postdocs at a national level are unspecified. (4) All postdocs are trained as if they will become academic research professors.
