A research ethics approval certificate alone does not grant permission to involve Unisa employees, students and data in research. All researchers wanting to involve Unisa employees and students as participants or to study data at Unisa must apply for permission from the Research Permission Subcommittee of the Senate Research, Innovation, Postgraduate Degrees and Commercialisation Committee.
External applicants who wish to involve Unisa employees, students and data in research must first obtain an ethics approval certificate from their university/institution and then apply for an ethics approval certificate from the Unisa Research Ethics Review Committee. After obtaining the Unisa ethics approval certificate approval, they may then apply to the Research Permission Subcommittee for permission to involve Unisa employees, students and data in their research projects.
The Subcommittee meets once every month. All non-Unisa (external) researchers and Unisa employees registered for postgraduate qualifications at other universities, who are interested in research permission applications, may contact us at RPSC@unisa.ac.za.
