  • 1.  COVID 19 guidelines for in-person research

    I have a question for everyone.  How are you all handling COVID guidelines for in-person research?  We are having this discussion with the IRB staff and trying to come up with a directive on this.  We have PIs who do in-home research, in-classroom research, in close proximity with children, sometimes the elderly etc.  Are you all still requiring that PIs and their Co-PIs wear masks for in-person?  What are you requesting from your PIs and research personnel in these cases?  Note: some of our PIs are across the country in states or municipalities that have never required masking or social distancing.

    We have similar types of research.  Officially, COVID protocols have been significantly relaxed, so no.  We no longer require PIs to wear masks.
