<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:normal"><font face="Calibri" size="3" class="">Dear CALS Faculty:</font></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:normal"><font face="Calibri" size="3" class="">Today the University is moving to Phase 3 of the <a href="https://research.arizona.edu/covid19/research-restart" class="">Research Restart Plan</a>.
The Restart Plan website includes guidance and best practices for conducting research safely and links to overarching University of Arizona guidance on campus re-entry. This information will be updated as needed, so please check the site regularly. This website
also includes a link to the online restart checklist (below). </font></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:normal"><font face="Calibri" size="3" class="">Moving to Phase 3 research activity level (of six total phases) will allow those presently conducting research under an essential research waiver
to expand some activities, and those who have temporarily closed their labs to consider restarting some activities. </font></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:normal"><font face="Calibri" size="3" class=""><u class="">All researchers, even those with an approved essential research waiver, must complete the </u><a href="https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tllvi9oetMtknb" class="">restart
checklist</a><u class="">, which must be approved before work can proceed.</u> While approved essential research waivers don’t expire, the research restart process goes beyond the critical work that was defined as essential under the waivers. Should the local
or regional COVID19 situation worsen, it’s possible that we will revert to our present Phase I activities, in which case we will be once again operate under the existing research waivers. </font></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:normal"><font face="Calibri" size="3" class="">Restarting your activities does not mean a return to business before the pandemic. Work under existing approved waivers can continue to operate
as they have been, but a checklist must be completed and approved before expanded work can take place. Work must still be prioritized to maintain the health and safety of the University of Arizona community. Travel restrictions remain in place; requests
for travel waivers will continue to be handled outside of this research approval process.</font></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt; line-height:normal"><font face="Calibri" size="3" class="">The Qualtrics online restart checklist is available here: <a href="https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tllvi9oetMtknb" class="">https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tllvi9oetMtknb</a>.
The checklist must be completed online, for your reference a pdf copy is attached to this email. Please ensure that all of laboratory workers receive a copy of this pdf. It’s crucial the all laboratory workers are engaged in working through the checklist. </font></p>
