The PRISM lab conducts clinical trials on COVID-19 patients and other critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit or other parts of the hospital to help improve clinical outcomes. All research personnel working with PRISM should expect to be on campus and come into direct contact with COVID-19 patients and blood samples with COVID-19 and other pathogens using CDC approved personal protective equipment (PPE). Due to the nature of the clinical trials, research personnel work variable schedules, including some holidays and weekends. Research personnel are expected to share the call schedule, including weekends and holiday shifts, equally with available staff. Shifts are assigned two to four weeks in advance and may require an occasional early shift to help with pre-planned early morning enrollment.
