<Title>Compliance announcement: Video conferencing for interviews</Title>
<Tagline>What to use in place of face to face interviews - COVID-19</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <h3>Announcement from the UMBC Office of Research Protections &amp; Compliance:</h3>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <span>Our office has received several information requests about using virtual/online formats to take the place of previously planned (and IRB approved) in-person interviews conducted outside of campus. Use of such formats may be useful to PIs to conduct human subjects use research during the COVID-19 event.</span><div><br></div>
    <div>We checked with Mark Cather of UMBC Department of Information Technology(DoIT).  He recommended an online conferencing tool that would provide security and confidentiality which would meet the IRB's requirements for maintaining privacy and ensuring confidentiality. Remember, these are requirements stated in an approved IRB protocol.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The only solution DoIT supports for UMBC investigators is <strong><em>WebEx.</em></strong>  DoIT has certified it up to level 3 (see the IRBs <a href="https://research.umbc.edu/umbc-security-requirements-for-protecting-sensitive-research-data/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">guidance on security requirements</a>), which means it is good with all data types (including HIPAA).  DoIT has several FAQs and instruction guides <a href="https://wiki.umbc.edu/display/faq/Webex" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">posted</a> to assist investigators if there are plans to add to a protocol.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Speaking of which, if an investigator plans to add Webex use to an existing protocol, please be sure to forward a <a href="https://research.umbc.edu/protocol-modifications/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">protocol modification</a> and have it approved <strong>before</strong> using.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <br><div><div>If you have any questions, please contact us at <a href="mailto:compliance@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">compliance@umbc.edu</a>. </div></div>

<Title>Spotlight! Guest Instructor Workshop</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span>Are you interested in having more presentation opportunities? Here's your chance...</span></p>
    <p><span>Two years ago, the Library created the “Spotlight! Guest Instructor Workshop” series. This series is where the Library invites members of the UMBC community to host a single lecture/talk during the academic year. The talk is held in the Library from 12-1pm.</span></p>
    <p><span><span>We think this would be a great opportunity for graduate students, particularly those that will graduate soon, to present their content as a
    practice version for their defense presentation. Research can be completed or in progress. </span></span></p>
    <p><span><span>The one hour long sessions are held in the Library throughout the academic year during free hour (MWF from 12-1pm) on a date to be determined.
    The Library will take care of scheduling and promoting the presentations.</span></span></p>
    <p><span><span>If you are interested in presenting your research please complete the following Spotlight Presentation Proposal form</span></span><span><a href="https://forms.gle/QsmCReTHdqprghUt9" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span></span><strong><span>https://forms.gle/QsmCReTHdqprghUt9</span></strong></a></span></p>
