A multi-university task force led by Jeff Lewin (Research Integrity) has been recognized by the Campus Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Association (CSHEMA) for its efforts during the pandemic.
Lewin and other task force members received the Excellence in Volunteerism award from CSHEMA for creating guidance for restarting university laboratories after pandemic-related closures.
The task force developed a checklist to assist higher education safety specialists and researchers around the country in preparing to safely open and resume laboratory activities. The checklist was also used as the framework for the University’s checklist on ramping up research.
