Patients and families and other groups in the workforce, including LGBTQ+ are negatively impacted within the current problematic climate. For more information, please feel free to reach out to me, our program manager Henry Ocampo, or visit our website https://diversitybch.ucsf.edu/.

Dario Boffelli, Ph.D, has been named interim faculty director of the UCSF Genomics Core Facility (GCF), effective November 1. Boffelli has a longstanding interest in developing methods for comparative genomic and epigenomic analysis. His current work focuses on single-cell analysis to study the biology of stem cells and on the application of whole-genome sequencing in the diagnosis of children with severe genetic disorders. Boffelli's first undertaking will be to meet with the various core users and identify areas where we can expand and improve our sequencing services for the UCSF community. If you are a current or prospective user of the core and have feedback, please reach out to him.

Research Density Guidance | |
|
Research Density Guidance from Lindsey Criswell, MD, MPH, DSc, Vice Chancellor of Research
As announced on December 18, the current densities (effective December 24, 2020, and now extended until January 19, 2021) are:
- Laboratory research density at 25%. LARC operations will continue unabated, and there is no need to reduce animal census.
- Clinical research that is not essential to the health of the participant (termed Category 3 research) at 12.5%. It is strongly recommended that research-only on-site visits (i.e., conducted without a concomitant clinical visit) be postponed. COVID-19 clinical research and clinical research determined to be essential to the health and/or well-being of the participant can continue without density restriction.
The Office of Research has developed a document that summarizes density guidelines for UCSF research activities and requirements for quarantining and/or testing under the UCSF quarantine order and travel policy. It is designed to provide quick guidance for different categories of research and personnel, and does not replace the full guidelines and policies implemented by UCSF and the Office of Research.

New! Information Sheet and Consent Form Addendums for COVID-19 Screening and Testing Procedures | |
|
UCSF Human Research Protection Program
New! Information Sheet and Consent Form Addendums for COVID-19 Screening and Testing Procedures
The HRPP has created the following documents for research participants attending onsite study visits during the COVID-19 public health emergency:
- COVID-19 Screening Information Sheet
- COVID-19 Testing Assent/Consent Form Addendum: Adults, Adolescents (13+), and Parents of Minors
- COVID-19 Testing Assent Form Addendum: Children Aged 7-12
These forms are specifically designed for research participants who undergo COVID-19 screening and/or testing for the sole purpose of adhering to the UCSF Guidance for Onsite Clinical Research Activities, which requires that research participants be screened for COVID-19 prior to onsite visits and must be tested if their visit involves aerosolizing procedures. Use these forms only when the results of the screening and/or testing are unrelated to the study and will not be used as study data.
The language from these forms can also be adapted and added to consent forms for studies in which these screening and testing procedures are being done for study purposes, i.e., the results of the screening and/or testing will be used as study data.
Visit COVID-19 Screening and Testing Forms to access these forms and to read guidance about:
- When to use the forms
- Who should receive the forms
- When signatures are needed
- When IRB submission is needed
- Alternatives to using the forms

Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) | |
|
From: Roi Jennings
Program Coordinator
Summer Student Research Program
The Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) formerly known as CHORI SSRP continues in the struggle for diversity, equity, and inclusion of students from underserved backgrounds interested in STEM. This past summer we pivoted from in-person training to providing a completely virtual program. We were able to do this while still supporting our students financially and providing a mentoring experience that allowed our students to conduct research albeit outside of a lab or clinic. These bright, exceptionally motivated high school and undergraduate students spent their summer exploring basic science and clinical research questions with practicing scientists who hold appointments at BCH-Oakland, UCSF and UC Berkeley.
SSRP held its 39th Annual Research Symposium on Friday, August 7th. Our digital Symposium Book highlights the research performed by our 30 high school and undergraduate interns. They presented research findings in a half day symposium held via zoom- and posted on YouTube. We hope you will enjoy a glimpse into their experience and what they were able to accomplish in just 8 short weeks.
For a more in depth look at how we created the first all-virtual SSRP, you can see a recent interview with us HERE.
Applications for Summer 2021 went online, November 1st and the deadline for submission of applications is in early February 2021. Details can be found on our website HERE.
If you have any questions regarding our program, how faculty can participate as mentors or how students can apply, we can be reached via e-mail at: ssrp@ucsf.edu
