ABSTRACT
Pandemics have devastating effects that can be mitigated with the existence of global infrastructure for pandemic preparedness along with the adaptation of existing research studies and establishment of biorepositories early in an outbreak. Observational cohort studies in place prior to a pandemic, that are rapidly scalable in response to emerging infectious diseases, are essential for both the early pandemic response and evaluation of its long-term effects. The ability to quickly collect and share samples from convalescent individuals is also critical for the development of vaccines and therapeutics. We provide a reflection on key lessons learned from establishing a longitudinal observational cohort study during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in order to provide guidance for future pandemic preparedness.
