Exempt participants will also be asked to sign an attestation document when submitting COVID test results at the time of check-in at the beginning of the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>We want to be very clear that the meeting is on the campus of CU Boulder which will remain open to the public. The meeting spaces will\u00a0not\u00a0accommodate 3 feet social distancing, and masking will be as per CU policy. These policies are subject to change in response to campus, local, and state COVID requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Society members or researchers who cannot or\u00a0will not attend RNA 2022 in person under this policy will have an opportunity to access much of the scientific content on-line after the conclusion of the in-person event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chad-expandable\">\n<div class=\"chad-ei\"><strong>Meet the Editors Reception<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"chad-econtent\">RNA 2022 will feature the first ever\u00a0\u2018Meet the Editors\u2019 reception where meeting\u00a0participants\u00a0can connect with distinguished members of the editorial board of <em>RNA<\/em>, the official\u00a0journal of the RNA Society.\u00a0Researchers\u00a0interested in learning how their research could be published in RNA and promoted\u00a0within the RNA community are encouraged to attend.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chad-expandable\">\n<div class=\"chad-ei\"><strong>Childcare, Dependent-Care and Disability Support<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"chad-econtent\"><a href=\"\/conferences\/rna-2022\/childcare-dependent-care-and-disability-support-program\/\"><strong>Apply for childcare, dependent-care and disability support<\/strong><\/a> by March 21, 2022.
