Announcement - Human Subjects Research Resumption Update
Memorandum
TO: University of Maryland Baltimore Research Community
FROM: Robert E. Rosenthal, MD IRB Chair
Dr. Julie Doherty, DM, MSN, RN Asst Vice President, Research Compliance
With the recent masking changes issued to the UMB community, we would like to update you on resumption of UMB research. In the current climate, all research efforts involving human subjects may be renewed with the understanding that any local restrictions or requirements must be respected and adhered to. In terms of documentation:
- Submission of COVID Risk Statement and resumption checklists with CICERO transactions are no longer required.
- Use of the COVID Risk Statement during the consent process is no longer required.
- Submission of an RNI for research resumption at this stage is also not required.
Please contact Julie Doherty for specific questions jdoherty@umaryland.edu
We appreciate your efforts during these challenging times.
Thank you.
