Please see the latest guidance on sustaining research operations, posted Sept. 8, here: https://www.research.psu.edu/COVID_sustaining_research
On May 19, 2020, the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research in consultation with the Vice Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the College of Medicine, provided guidance for the gradual and phased increase in on-campus research-related activities. The complete guidance is available in PDF format below.
The Next Step for research unit leaders (deans, chancellors, and institute directors) is to create a prioritized and phased list of research-related activities that are expected to increase on-campus.
- Unit leaders should work with principal investigators and the unit’s facility coordinator and safety officer to develop a plan with a schedule and a checklist for an organized and phased return to research activities.
