Neuro Procedure
Updated Research Brain Scanning Procedures as of January 12


While McGill, including The Neuro, operate under the current red zone restrictions, some limited research with in-person human participants will be allowed to continue. Research with in-person human participants is allowed only if:
1.   Human participants do not have to travel to a location for the sole purpose of participating in that research (the participants already have a valid reason for being in the particular location distinct from the research protocol), and
2.   The researchers do not have to travel to multiple locations to conduct this research (that is, travelling house to house, or school to school, or organization to organization is not permitted)
3.   All McGill health and safety directives are followed, and
4.   When the research takes place in a different milieu than McGill, researchers obtain appropriate approval from the authorities in the milieu and follow all health and safety directives of said milieu.

Therefore, brain scanning research at The Neuro may resume as indicated below.
The directives below will now be reassessed on February 8 or as the situation evolves.


Update


Research



  *   Any research that can be conducted remotely should be done so.


  *   RESEARCH NOT INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTS
Currently approved on-site research activities (not involving human subjects) may continue.


  *   RESEARCH WITH HUMAN SUBJECTS
Current on-site research with human subjects may continue with people in the following three categories:

     *   Patients enrolled in clinical trials.
     *   Patients who are scheduled to come in for regular care or treatment.
     *   Patients who are scheduled to be seen by physicians on a regular basis.

  *   Within the above three groups, subjects 70 years of age and older already coming into The Neuro for these purposes can still participate in research activities.

  *   All in-person studies with healthy control subjects of all ages are CANCELLED until further notice.

  *   These directives will be reassessed on February 8 or before as the situation evolves.
