. Sharing several examples of innovation responses from the University of Michigan community, Bennett noted that the local maker community quickly mobilized to design and create face shields and other short-term PPE needs, while corporate and community partners stepped up to address the identified short- and mid-term priorities, including immediate development, manufacture, and supply of various PPE options and other materials from Ford, GM, Toyota, and other first tier automotive suppliers.

In April, the Congressional Research Service published the report Effects on the Federal Research and Development Enterprise.24 It describes the disruptions accurately, according to Lauer, including shuttered labs, clinical trials stopped, and conferences cancelled. Required telework has disparate effects and anxiety is high, especially for early-career investigators.

The NIH Office of Portfolio Research maintains a website of all publications related to COVID-19; it has about 74,000 items, 50,000 of which were peer reviewed and the rest are preprints.26 Timeliness of dissemination of research results has been important and an example of how it should happen. While he agreed with Woodcock that the NIH clinical trial apparatus is far from ideal, he noted that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases clinical trial looking at the drug Remdesivir took place from February to April, and on May 22, a preliminary version of an article appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine.
