COVID-19 Procedures
Until further notice:
As of March 13, 2020, all research performed at the BIC must implement the screening and disinfection protocols as linked below. No research will be allowed to restart until your research plan has been approved by the VPR's office, your ADR, or CSU. More information can be found here. The written authorization must include the building & rooms researchers will need access to and the names of the people needing access. The authorization letter should be sent to the BIC so a BIC representative is able to brief you on our new protocols and equipment scheduling procedures. Once you have met with a BIC representative via Zoom or the like, you can then access the facilities and start research. This process needs to be followed for any research group that would like to utilize any of the imaging equipment within the BIC.
