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.
The application can be deemed incomplete (see below) especially if ethics approval is not provided. We try to help you to apply to Jhb DRC concurrently with your ethics application. You may be forced to upload ethics before completing the NHRD form. Add 1234567 as your ethics number and upload a letter indicating that you will be applying for ethics or upload the ethics application acknowledgment email. This will allow your application to be concluded on NHRD. NOTE: Please ensure your ethics certificate must be from a NHREC-accredited ethics committee. See List of RECs registered with NHREC 2018-03-16. If you want to apply at Wits check out Wits Research Ethics Committee here for requirements/process.
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 that you upload the full protocol (with tools), ethics approval, and SAHPRA approval (if they are 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.
Your application and related documents will be picked up from NHRD 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 the Research Administrator will inform you of provisional approval. Only when we receive your ethics certificate (not “Conditional Approval”) will we send you an official approval letter. 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. We urge you to upload your ethics certificate to the NHRD afterward.
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 Mpho Lethata of Gauteng Province at Mpho.Lethata@gauteng.gov.za / Lethatampho@gmail.com or Dr. Lesibana Malinga of NDOH at NHRD@Health.gov.za
