I'm involved in a few different projects to facilitate people doing research online. Right now I'm doing what is apparently an annual survey on technical and research needs.
We're planning some virtual workshops and (funding pending) some continued software development. The hope is role out things quickly in order to support people whose labs are currently shuttered. So this is your chance to influence what we do.
The caveat is that probably in the very short term we won't be supporting much developmental research. It's not that I don't want to, but we haven't been able to secure funding for it so far. If a lot of developmentalists respond to the survey, though, it may be helpful in securing that funding in the future.
