The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the lives
of children and their families, who have faced innumerable
challenges such as illness and death; school closures; social
isolation; financial hardship; food insecurity; deleterious mental
health effects; and difficulties accessing health care. In almost
every outcome related to social, emotional, behavioral,
educational, mental, physical, and economic health and well-being,
families identifying as Black, Latino, and Native American, and
those with low incomes, have disproportionately borne the brunt of
the negative effects of the pandemic. The effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on children and families will be felt for years to come.
While these long-term effects are unknown, they are likely to have
particularly significant implications for children and families
from racially and ethnically minoritized communities and with low
incomes. Addressing the Long-Term Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
on Children and Families identifies social, emotional, behavioral,
educational, mental, physical, and economic effects of the COVID-10
pandemic and looks at strategies for addressing the challenges and
obstacles that the pandemic introduced for children and families in
marginalized communities. This report provides recommendations for
programs, supports, and interventions to counteract the negative
effects of the pandemic on child and family well-being and offers a
path forward to recover from the harms of the pandemic, address
inequities, and prepare for the future. Table of Contents Front

The spring of 2020 marked a change in how almost everyone conducted
their personal and professional lives, both within science,
technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and
beyond. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global scientific
conferences and individual laboratories and required people to find
space in their homes from which to work. It blurred the boundaries
between work and non-work, infusing ambiguity into everyday
activities. While adaptations that allowed people to connect became
more common, the evidence available at the end of 2020 suggests
that the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic endangered the
engagement, experience, and retention of women in academic STEMM,
and may roll back some of the achievement gains made by women in
the academy to date. The Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women
in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine identifies, names,
and documents how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the careers of
women in academic STEMM during the initial 9-month period since
March 2020 and considers how these disruptions - both positive and
negative - might shape future progress for women. This publication
builds on the 2020 report Promising Practices for Addressing the
Underrepresentation of Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine
to develop a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced ways these
disruptions have manifested. The Impact of COVID-19 on the Careers
of Women in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will
inform the academic community as it emerges from the pandemic to
mitigate any long-term negative consequences for the continued
advancement of women in the academic STEMM workforce and build on
the adaptations and opportunities that have emerged. Table of

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the
nation's K-12 education system. The rush to slow the spread of the
virus led to closures of schools across the country, with little
time to ensure continuity of instruction or to create a framework
for deciding when and how to reopen schools. States, districts, and
schools are now grappling with the complex and high-stakes
questions of whether to reopen school buildings and how to operate
them safely if they do reopen. These decisions need to be informed
by the most up-to-date evidence about the SARS-CoV-2 virus that
causes COVID-19; about the impacts of school closures on students
and families; and about the complexities of operating school
buildings as the pandemic persists. Reopening K-12 Schools During
the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prioritizing Health, Equity, and Communities
provides guidance on the reopening and operation of elementary and
secondary schools for the 2020-2021 school year. The
recommendations of this report are designed to help districts and
schools successfully navigate the complex decisions around
reopening school buildings, keeping them open, and operating them
safely. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 K12 Schools and
