Any news here?
The last post seems to be 17/3, which is today, but nothing seemingly new?
Hi Aladin,
The lab should be shortly ready to start recruiting/running healthy control participants - they are just waiting on a new temperature gauge, and the computer they are shipping from UNL’s lab to UCLA, to arrive on site there. The UCLA lab will be getting those shortly.
These delays have been getting UNL to be able to use the POIS funds to place orders with the new vendor and to send them to a new address at UCLA. These are frustrating bureaucracies, but they exist to make sure your money is spent only as allowed.
UCLA unexpectedly asked UNL to pay the travel to POIS participants using their cash cards, which was not what UNL had approved. UNL needs to approve this and they need to request the cards. However, they can start the study without this, as they already have approval for all the control participants as it is (they are not paid travel).
