Dear Colleagues,
In view of the recent “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” and the effect of this directive on our research community (handling lab issues, locating and handling child care and getting personnel organized to do essential functions and to work remotely), the Office of Research has extended the deadline for bridge applications until May 15. Please forward this announcement as appropriate.

Greetings Colleagues,
Greetings Colleagues,
Last week the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Memorandum ( M-20-17), a guideline for Federal Agencies to provide, at the individual agencies discretion, administrative relief due to COVID-19 related impacts.
This is a headsup that the Office of Research has posted a set of FAQs relating to research aspects of the Governor's Stay Home, Stay Healthy directive. We are available to answer questions (see FAQ for directions for sending in your questions), and we will be updating both this document and others we have sent you this week, as appropriate.

Greetings Colleagues,
The March MRAM presentation materials and recording are available on the March MRAM meeting page. The Q&A received during the meeting are included for your review.
Q: I am assuming that the accelerated approval via OSP will include Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) prior to approval.
Greetings Colleagues,
In accordance with the Washington State “Stay-at-Home” mandate, OSP and HSD have moved to an entirely remote work platform. Walk-in assistance at our offices in the UW Tower has been temporarily suspended.
Rest assured, during this time both OSP and HSD continue to operate during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm). We appreciate your patience during these extraordinary circumstances.
Thank you,
Office of Sponsored Programs & Human Subjects Division
Dear Colleagues,
I’m writing to provide clarity for research activities, after Governor Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” proclamation yesterday evening. Note, this message does not apply to clinical activities, only research activities.
Dear Colleagues,
Let me start out by stating that the University is not closed. Some research is a part of the exclusions included in Governor Inslee’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy directive, and we are working on defining what that is. In accordance with this directive, we ask that the number of people working at their usual place of work be kept to a minimum.
The Provost has issued a notice prohibiting international travel, effective immediately.
This prohibition applies to all official UW travel, including international travel for UW research, whether or not the costs of the travel are being paid using University funds. International travel for UW research is prohibited, even if a researcher wishes to pay for it personally.
