Do you want to do research in the facilities of the Johannesburg Health District?
Please start by filling an application on the National Health Research Database (NHRD). Look at NHRD Access steps if you have security issues. See the Researcher Manual (PHRC 2017) to guide you as well. Please make sure you select the exact clinics/CHCs in Johannesburg, Gauteng, and NOT just Johannesburg Health District (unless you want to gather data at the District Office). We DO NOT review applications for any hospitals except South Rand, Bheki Mlangeni, and Edenvale Hospitals. Ensure you upload the full protocol (with tools), ethics certificate, and SAHPRA approval if it is available. Please ensure a clear summary is provided for a reviewer to understand your study under “Aims/objectives”. Please be very clear about how you will actually recruit your participants in our facilities under “Sampling”. Be very clear about the burden your research will place on facilities under the headings
- The additional load on district staff
- Use of facilities resources
- Impact on Patients
- Other
Please keep the email you receive from NHRD (with the NHRD reference number) safely.
You can apply to Jhb DRC concurrently with your ethics application. In that case, don’t worry about the requirement for ethics approval in the NHRD application. You may be forced to upload ethics before submission. Just submit a letter indicating that you will be applying for ethics or upload the ethics application acknowledgment email. If you want an email from us acknowledging your application and/or supporting your research in principle, you can contact the Jhb DRC Research Administrator (details below).
Your application and related documents will be picked up by the Jhb DRC Research Administrator as she checks daily. Members of the Jhb DRC will review applications within two weeks of application as a rule and provide an answer. If you don’t have ethics approval yet we will send you a provisional approval letter signed by Prof S. Moosa. Once we receive your ethics certificate (not “Conditional Approval”) we will send you an official approval letter. We urge you to upload your ethics certificate to the NHRD afterward. The official approval letter will be signed by the Chief Director, Johannesburg Health District, and/or the Executive Director, Health Department, City of Johannesburg. You should usually get a response within one week of reviewer approval and/or presenting your ethics approval.
If you are following up then please quote your NHRD reference number! You can email, call, or visit Busi Sikhosana at the Jhb DRC Office at Busisiwe.Sikhosana@gauteng.gov.za or (+27) 011 694 3909, Hillbrow CHC Administration Building, Klein Street, Hillbrow, Johannesburg to follow up. See more about the District Research Committee of Johannesburg Health District. If you have an NHRD query or need to edit your NHRD application please contact the Gauteng Province officials below or Dr. Lesibana Malinga of NDOH at NHRD@Health.gov.za
