<div class="">CALS Faculty,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Over the past few days there have been commiunications and messages from numerous sources providing varying guidance regarding the continuance of research on campus. We recognize that these have created both confusion and concern among CALS faculty
who have ongoing projects with significant investments in time and resources. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The following guidance is aligned with University policy at this time and supersedes any other CALS communications you have received regarding the continuance of research on campus.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As detailed in four guidance documents available here <a href="https://research.arizona.edu/covid19" class="">https://research.arizona.edu/covid19</a>, research is permissible on campus to sustain our research operations to the extent possible
while ensuring the safety and health of all researchers and our research labs and facilities. This should be accomplished through robust discussions with laboratory personnel and development of mitigation plans that maximize social distancing while maintaining
research activities. Specific University guidance for all facility, staff and students is as follows:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;" class=""><font face="Calibri" class=""><font color="#403635" size="3" class="">Non-essential in-person activity in laboratories is discouraged and it is </font><span style="color: rgb(64, 54, 53); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" class="">strongly
encouraged</span><font color="#403635" size="3" class=""> that all possible non-essential research work be migrated to online / work-from-home modes;</font></font></li><li style="color: rgb(64, 54, 53); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" class="">
<font face="Calibri" class="">The implementation of robust social distancing measures among personnel in your research spaces—for example, by mixing remote work, onsite work, staggering schedules, and by holding meetings by teleconference—should be developed
immediately.</font></li></ul>
<div class="">You should seek to minimize the number of people working overall in your laboratories, and also at any one time, while sustaining your research program to the extent possible.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I hope the this clarifies the present policies regarding the continuance of research on campus. Please contact me and/or your unit head with additional questions that you may have. I’m available 24/7.</div>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Stay safe and healthy,</div>
