SequenceFlow_05ja25w ## Beta Stage: All data entered will be destroyed before public launch ### UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA RESEARCH [From Research Ramp-up Guidance](https://research.virginia.edu/research-ramp-guidance) #### Support Report problems and/or submit questions to: askresearch@virginia.edu #### Research Guidance Our general principle is that only research activities requiring on-Grounds presence would be conducted on-Grounds. All other research-related work would continue to be performed by telework until restrictions are lifted. Separate school, department and building specific plans should supplement these guidelines. For research that needs to be on Grounds, the plan is to ramp up in phases with emphasis on safety. The goal of this document is to provide a central framework for resuming activities while allowing for coordinated school specific implementation strategies. The success of the ramp up depends on each researcher placing the safety of themselves and the people around them first, while conducting their research. In order to reduce our risks as much as possible, this must be a partnership between the researchers and the administration. Schools are developing a process for the approval of ramp up requests and enforcement of safety guidelines described in this document. The VPR office is working with the schools to provide the necessary support for business process infrastructure, and working with the COO’s office to coordinate the acquisition of supplies necessary including face coverings and sanitizing supplies. **Instructions for Submitting:** 1. The Research Ramp-up Plan allows for one request to be entered for a single Principle Investigator. In the form that follows enter the Primary Investigator this request is for and other identifying information. The PI's School and Supervisor will be used as needed for approval routing. 2. Provide all available information in the forms that follow to provide an overview of where the research will resume, who will be involved, what supporting resources will be needed and what steps you have taken to assure compliance with [Research Ramp-up Guidance](https://research.virginia.edu/research-ramp-guidance). 3. After all forms have been completed, you will be presented with the option to create your Research Recovery Plan in Word format. Download the document and review it. If you see any corrections that need to be made, return to the corresponding form and make the correction. 4. Once the generated Research Recovery Plan is finalize, proceed to the Plan Submission step to submit your plan for approval. SequenceFlow_05ja25w SequenceFlow_0h50bp3 SequenceFlow_0h50bp3 Flow_16y8glw #### People for whom you are requesting access Information on all researchers you are requesting approval for reentry into the lab/research space for conducting research on-Grounds. (If there are personnel already working in the space, include them). **Note: no undergraduates will be allowed to work on-Grounds during Phase II.** Flow_1eiud85 Flow_1nbjr72 #### If applicable, provide a list of any [Core Resources](https://research.virginia.edu/research-core-resources) you will utilize space or instruments in and name/email of contact person in the core you have coordinated your plan with. (Core facility managers are responsible for developing a plan for their space) Flow_15zy1q7 Flow_12ie6w0 #### End of Workflow Place instruction here, Flow_05w8yd6 Your Research Ramp-up Plan has been generated and is available in the Files pop-out found in the upper left hand corner of this application Click on the file name link to download the MS Word file to download, open and review. If changes are needed, choose the appropriate menu choice to make your edits, clicking Save when done. Note that you will need to revisit subsequent steps so the application can check to see if your edits impacted future workflow decisions. All your data will be persevered and you will need to click the Save button on each step to proceed. When your Research Ramp-up Plan is complete and ready to submit for review and approval, click the Continue button below.

Flow_0qf2y84 Flow_0tk64b6 Flow_0ya8hw8 Flow_0zz2hbq #### Distancing requirements: Maintain social distancing by designing space between people to be at least 9 feet during prolonged work which will be accomplished by restricting the number of people in the lab to a density of ~250 sq. ft. /person in lab areas. When moving around, a minimum of 6 feet social distancing is required. Ideally only one person per lab bench and not more than one person can work at the same time in the same bay. Flow_0p2r1bo Flow_0tz5c2v Flow_1nbjr72 Flow_0p2r1bo Flow_0mkh1wn Flow_1yqkpgu Flow_1c6m5wv Describe physical work arrangements for each lab. Show schematic of the lab and space organization to meet the distancing guidelines (see key safety expectations for ramp-up). - Show gross dimensions, location of desks, and equipment in blocks (not details) that show available space for work and foot traffic. - Indicate total square footage for every lab/space that you are requesting adding personnel to in this application. If you would like help obtaining a floor plan for your lab, your department or deans office can help. You can also create a hand drawing/block diagram of your space and the location of objects on a graph paper. - Upload your physical layout and workspace organization in the form of a jpg image or a pdf file. This can be hand-drawn or actual floor plans. - Show and/or describe designated work location for each member (during their shift) in the lab when multiple members are present at a time to meet the distancing guidelines. - Provide a foot traffic plan (on the schematic) to indicate how people can move around while maintaining distancing requirements. This can be a freeform sketch on your floor plan showing where foot traffic can occur in your lab, and conditions, if any, to ensure distancing at all times. (e.g., direction to walk around a lab bench, rules for using shared equipment located in the lab, certain areas of lab prohibited from access, etc.). - Provide your initial weekly laboratory schedule (see excel template) for all members that you are requesting access for, indicating all shifts as necessary. If schedule changes, please submit your revised schedule through the web portal.
