Dear Campus Research Community,

The Chancellor recently announced the new guidelines in place regarding
COVID 19 precautions and restrictions
<https://insideucr.ucr.edu/announcements/2021/06/23/campus-and-workplace-covid-update>
.



In particular, labs and research facilities are now allowed to function at
100% capacity, provided new Worksite Specific Plans
<https://ehs.ucr.edu/coronavirus/worksite_specific_plan> (WSSPs) are
submitted and approved, or WSSPs are updated to include additional lab
personnel or additional research activities.

To further elaborate on this announcement, we are providing an updated
matrix
<https://campusreturn.ucr.edu/sites/g/files/rcwecm4671/files/2021-06/UCRRiskMatrixforHSR062921.pdf>
to
help define the lessened restrictions regarding research with human
subjects.

Visitors, whether human subjects, visiting scholars, or industry partners,
are also permitted on campus. Please include them in your Worksite Specific
Plan and develop a protocol for ensuring that they follow campus
procedures, such as using the Daily Wellness Survey for Research
Participants

We appreciate everyone’s contributions to keep research going while
prioritizing the health of our community. Thank you for your extended
patience, understanding, and collaboration as we navigate our return to
normal research conditions.



Sincerely,

Rodolfo
