<ul>
<li class="Normal">Consider pursuing <em><strong>areas that are not well addressed</strong></em>.</li>
<li class="Normal">Consider the <strong><em>feasibility</em></strong> of successfully enrolling a study/trial; recruitment of adequate numbers of subjects at single site may be challenging as the number of concurrent trials multiplies and the number of cases is potentially decreasing.</li>
<li class="Normal">Consider <strong><em>avoiding trials needing an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing</em></strong>; these Prior Approval requests will be lengthy given the higher risk nature of the trial.</li>
<li class="Normal">Consider undertaking <em><strong>longitudinal or cross-sectional observational studies to establish the natural history of COVID-19</strong></em>; these studies could be more feasible and provide valuable information.</li>
