Welcome to the DNP Project Podcast where we share tips, inspiration, and more!
It’s time to get back to school. In this series our goal is to offer some quick tips for DNP Students.

Today’s Tip: COVID Compliance and the DNP Project

The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a serious impact on the DNP Project. In our experience, we are noting that some Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are adding requirements to scholarly works that must specifically address compliance to COVID precautions.

On June 24th, we partnered with Springer Publishing to host a free webinar entitled, “The Impact of COVID-19 on DNP Projects.” To view this free webinar, visit the Springer website at https://www.springerpub.com/w/nursing.... In the webinar we basically group DNP Projects into “Projects in Progress” and Projects being Planned.” For those of you that are planning DNP Projects, here is a short list of considerations:
What is the current state and local policies on social distancing, use of masks, size of gatherings, etc.?
Is there an institutional policy on COVID at your partnering organization?
How will you ensure the safety of your DNP Project participants in regard to COVID?
How will you ensure that your DNP Project is compliant to these requirements?
Has your IRB(s) set requirements on COVID compliance?
Does your DNP Project Methodology, include a paragraph specific to COVID? (We believe it should)

In the webinar, we also discuss strategies for redirection of DNP Projects and visions for DNP Projects of the future. Please take some time to listen to the webinar. We hope that discussion and this checklist helps you think through some of the logistical challenges of COVID compliance and the DNP Project.
