Dec. 7: UTRGV’s Export Compliance Program

Annually, we remind all UTRGV employees of the importance of complying with U.S. export control laws and regulations as well as management’s commitment to provide the training, tools, and resources to do so. The need for heightened awareness of this control and use of these types of items and technical data is more critical than ever before. I ask each of you to take this matter very seriously and to support this effort.

UTRGV poster June 1, 2020: INTERIM POLICY FOR THE CONTINUATION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH WITH IN-PERSON COMPONENT THROUGH THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

Today, UTRGV is issuing a new interim policy to support the continuation of human subjects’ studies that were paused as a result of the previous policy.  This new interim policy, which will be implemented immediately, is intended to remain in effect for the duration of the public health emergency related to COVID-19 as declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). UTRGV recognizes that the current public health emergency has affected the conduct of the research involving human subjects and impacted the risk/benefit analysis for participants of studies with research procedures requiring an in-person interaction/intervention.  Consistent with FDA and OHRP guidance and recommendations, UTRGV supports the continuation of human subjects’ research by minimizing risks and ensuring the safety of research participants.  This policy applies to approved studies regardless of their level of review (Exempt, Expedited, Full Board) and where UTRGV’s IRB is responsible for providing oversight to the research.
