Conducting Human Subjects Research in Response to COVID-19

In light of the current situation that we are facing with COVID-19, to protect the health and welfare of the SPH community and research participants, human subject research involving direct interaction with study participants should be suspended to minimize risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. Where feasible, in-person research procedures should be converted to online or virtual formats (note that such procedures must be approved by the CUNY IRB prior to implementation).

Please visit our new HSR and COVID-19 webpage for more information and contact us (hrpp@sph.cuny.edu) with any questions about your protocol and research activities.
