Proposals should aim to produce novel conceptual frameworks or theory-based approaches that present disruptive ways of thinking about fundamental scientific problems that have evaded resolution, propose new, paradigm-shifting scientific directions, and/or address fundamental and important questions that are argued to be undervalued by Mon, 06 Apr 2020 00:00:00 -0700 stanf https://keepresearching.ucr.edu/d98bd46c-05b6-47e2-908a-a9e821128a47 https://keepresearching.ucr.edu/announcement/2020/03/17/follow-curtailment-campus-research-activities Dear Faculty Colleagues, As a follow-up to the message sent yesterday about curtailment of on-campus research and plans for a possible research shutdown, attached is a recommended checklist to follow for those who are submitting a shutdown plan for their lab. This checklist is modified from similar lists other universities that find themselves in a similar situation have been distributing. We hope you find it helpful.

In a very short period of time here at UCR, we have gone from “continue research to the extent possible” to “substantially limit research to critical activities.” ALL of the research, scholarly and creative activities we do are of immense value to the university mission, but we are quickly moving towards an unprecedented disruption and must now strictly curtail on-campus research Mon, 16 Mar 2020 00:00:00 -0700 THOMAS SMITH (INTERIM PROVOST) AND RODOLFO TORRES (VICE CHANCELLOR OF RESEARCH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) https://keepresearching.ucr.edu/792b1dd1-b2e0-4cfb-956d-a560498bfb63 https://keepresearching.ucr.edu/announcement/2020/03/13/guidance-human-subjects-and-research Interim Guidance by Institutional Review Board (IRB) - approved Human Subjects Research and other research activities involving visits and in-person interactions with participants, subjects or patients at University of California, Riverside (UCR) during COVID-19 Outbreak

As mentioned in the message, we are NOT suspending research activities at this time but want to share several actions and recommendations. Despite many uncertainties about how the COVID-19 epidemic will affect the research enterprise in the intermediate and longer term, now it is time to start planning for potential serious disruptions.
