As the COVID-19 outbreak evolves, the Office of Research continues to work closely with the UC Davis leadership team, the University of California Office of the President and colleagues from other UC campuses to establish guidance specific to research operations. The following guidance is intended to help the campus research community limit the impact and potential risk associated with COVID-19. Each laboratory or research facility should create specific plans based on this guidance.
Our office will continue to update this page as new information becomes available, however, we encourage you to also visit the UC Davis Coronavirus website for the latest news and information from the campus.
