Update 10/6/2021 – The ONR has provided a template for Return to Research Plans. Please note that the inserted language is meant as a guide and should be tailored to your study. Please reach out to ONRHelp@uw.edu with any questions.
Part of the University of Washington’s requirements for return to research includes approval of individual return to research plans for each project. We hope this site will be a resource for you for SON-level requirements. This process is ongoing, and we will continue to update the resources found here when possible.
If you are planning to return to in-person research, please first review the instructions found in the SON Addendum provided below. If you have questions, please email ONRhelp@uw.edu.
Research plan approvals may take up to 1 week to process once submitted by your research team. You may be asked by reviewers to make changes to your plan that could result in additional delays.
