New This Week: Graduate Students on Campus, Process for Adding people to your Lab
The new crop of graduate students will be starting soon in the SOM. If taking a rotation student, or adding any personnel to the lab, PIs should complete the following steps:
- Add the person to their ramp-up plan. For general information on SOM’s Research Ramp-Up, please click here.
- The PI would need to have their plan reapproved if and when addition of a person or people renders their current plan non-compliant. This applies to addition of anyone, not just new graduate students. It also would apply if the location of work changed, even when there were no personnel changes. If the PI is unsure, they should submit their plan for re-approval.
- Add all new personnel to Working Well by submitting their name and NetID to rcorell@hs.uci.edu.
- Any person (faculty, staff, students, postdocs, etc.) who will be working for any amount of time (part-time or full-time) at a UCI-controlled location, excluding the clinical sites already covered by current on-site checks need to be identified per State and County Guidelines. These locations include the UCI campus, Research Park, and Centerpointe.
We require that all returning and new personnel comply with the Important Requirements and Guidelines for Employees Returning to Campus, including the Returning to Campus UCLC online training, physical distancing, and the wearing of a face covering.
Remember:
Complete the SOM Qualtrics Research Activities Ramp-Up Form to provide legal assurance that persons re-entering the laboratory understand and are following guidelines according to a compliant laboratory and shared space occupancy plan.
