Research Phase 3 Research Resumption Requirement Update Research Resumption Plans will not be required for single-occupancy use of faculty offices. This applies only if offices will be used solely by the faculty member for research and scholarship, not for interactive research or research-related meetings, in which case an approved RRP is still required (unless an RRP covering the office for the same use was approved for Phase 1 or 2, in which case no further action is required). For additional information, please visit the Research Resumption Requirements page and the COVID-19 Research Operations FAQ. Have feedback?
