The university has submitted its plan to restart on-campus research activities to the DC Government and is aiming to resume research activities, albeit at a reduced level of intensity, no sooner than Thursday, July 16. However, our ability to adhere to this timeline will be contingent upon the government of the District of Columbia agreeing to accept our plan, and under the assumption that there will be no significant spikes in the prevalence of COVID-19 in our region, among other factors. Please submit your research return plan via
GMS
in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the document “
Restarting Research Activities at Georgetown: a phased approach
.” Absent an approved plan, you and your team will not be permitted to access campus facilities. Watch for information about an upcoming Town Hall at which you can ask questions, provide feedback, and learn details of how we will return to campus, including information on testing, screening and monitoring.

Through the
DC Paid Family Leave Program
, employees who are not eligible for paid leave through the university’s benefit programs may now have access to three categories of leave: Medical, Family and Parental.
