# Recover Losses Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

> **NIH NIH R15** · YESHIVA UNIVERSITY · 2022 · $45,000

## Abstract

Stern College, Yeshiva University (YU) is located in mid-town Manhattan. New York city was
among the first epicenters of the coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 cases in NYC went
sharply up. The initial COVID-19 cases followed by a significant spread were also detected at
Yeshiva University. As a result of the alarming situation with COVID-19 transmission and
hospitalization cases, NYC went into lockdown by the end of March of 2020. YU completely
closed all its building with no access to the research laboratories. The university buildings were
reopened to students and personnel only in August 2021. Animal studies (mostly under Aim1 of
the project) were significantly affected because all mouse models had to be terminated. As a
result, the project was significantly delayed since we had to restore the LoxP mouse model for
the completion of Aim1. The additional IVF procedures followed by animal breeding required
extra time and money. The requested funds will compensate for the indicated losses and allow
us to complete the original aims of the proposal.
