Current Status: 
Yellow
We are ramping up our on-campus laboratory research using a phased approach. The goal is to ramp up research in a thoughtful and deliberate manner that protects our researchers and our community, allows our important research mission to move forward, and enables us to monitor our situation, and make necessary adjustments.
Yellow Level Lab Research Survey – January 2021
Laboratory-based research activities on both campuses have been operating at the Yellow Level for the past six months, and will likely remain at this level for quite some time. As such, the OVCR would like your feedback on what is working well during this time and where improvements are needed.
If you are a laboratory researcher (faculty, staff, trainee), please complete this anonymous questionnaire so we can determine where to focus our attention. Please note, feedback or comments about the COVID vaccines and/or its distribution is outside the scope of this survey.
