START Survey on Work in the Era of COVID-19
START wants to hear how you are navigating through this COVID-19 period –– the ways you are coping, the innovative things that you are doing to continue working in these increasingly uncertain conditions, what is being dropped, and what is taking on greater importance for remaining effective under social distancing, self-isolation and web-connected working conditions.
To help the START community understand the COVID-19 response, we would be grateful if you would consider completing this survey and sharing the survey link with others. Responses will be kept anonymous. Thank you for sharing your insights.
