Peter,
Thank you so very much for sharing with the group. Many of us still only have our own continuity plans with little guidance from upper administration. Some have even seen little more beyond a Tweet while campus rumors and panic spread.
Our thoughts are with all of you who have these very tough decisions to make. In my neck of the woods, it kind of feels like this is the time that we have all been training and practicing for.
Stay safe,
Monique

I hope some of you find this helpful. Yale is moving all instruction on line for the rest of the semester, and will not resume any laboratory instruction. At this time, we will continue support research labs. We do not intent to curtail
research, and have asked investigators to plan for research continuity. (Some research at Yale will directly aid mitigation of the pandemic.) To help researchers, we published an Research Continuity FAQ on Saturday (follow link below), partly based on Stanford's
excellent FAQ. Some labs have decided to ramp down their research activities, and a link in the FAQ leads to a lab ramp down checklist, partly based on Harvard's excellent checklist.

Dear Colleagues,
Please see the updated
research continuity plan with detailed guidance in the form of an FAQ. I encourage you to read this closely. The guidance will be updated and extended as conditions change and additional information becomes available.
We will do our best to keep our campus infrastructure in place for continuity of research, but there are significant factors that may be outside of our control. These are enumerated in this document. We must plan on various possibilities that could cause
significant disruption.
All faculty and lab directors should take the request to develop a research continuity plan seriously. Consider how the work of your groups can be slowed for the coming weeks and what steps you would follow if the work was placed on hold with short notice.
Encourage staff, students and postdocs in your groups to work from home, whenever feasible. Provide flexibility for members of your groups. Encourage and model social distancing and good hygiene. Absolutely require that if anyone in the group is sick that
they do not come to work. Establish a system by which you, and members of the lab, can check the status of each other.
The planning you do now will support the long-term success of our labs and research groups. Thank you for carefully following the guidelines found at the
COVID-19 Information for Faculty and Researchers site.
Sincerely,
Scott Strobel
Provost
Henry Ford II Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry
