11/17/20 - Effective Immediately: Pause called in UIHC to non essential in-person human subjects research [1]
Because of Monday’s (11/16/20) proclamation by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and the need to reassign clinically trained research staff to clinical responsibilities, in-person research visits in UI Hospitals & Clinics facilities that are not essential to a participant's health and/or well-being should be postponed until further notice. Additional information on what research can continue can be found here [2]. Information on how to address this ramp down in the IRB application (HawkIRB) can be found here [3].
