Sampling methods should be elaborated in the Research Proposal. For example, if purposive sampling is proposed, the precise criteria which would apply to identify a potential qualifying Participant should be spelled out, if it is not done in the description of the population.

¹ In cases where a researcher intends to re-use existing data owned by another researcher, the researcher has to comply with the intellectual property rights, copyright and licensing conditions associated with that data. The researcher is also required to obtain permission to re-use data, clarify the research data’s ownership when necessary and always provide appropriate attribution and citation” (UNAM Research Ethics Policy, Regulations and Guidelines, Section I2, pp. 29-30). Documentation with respect to these conditions should be attached to the application.
² Permission from the relevant authorities, offices and/or owners of the records should be sought with full disclosure of the nature of the Research Project. Relevant documentation should be attached to this application.
³ The intended use of non-disclosed participatory observation should be fully motivated in a separate, detailed statement which spells out why the proposed instrument is the most suitable one for data collection. Contingencies, conditions, and possible interpersonal, social, and other consequences and their mitigation should be fully elaborated. The statement should be signed and dated by the Principal Investigator and the Main Supervisor.
⁴ The intended use of non-disclosed public observation should be clearly motivated in the Research Proposal.
⁵ Permission from the relevant authorities, offices and/or owners of non-public environment(s) and artefacts should be sought with full disclosure of the nature of the Research Project. Relevant documentation should be attached to this application. Observation/recording of public environments should adhere to posted rules/regulations, unless exception is expressly granted by the relevant authorities, in which case documentary proof to that effect should be furnished. It should be clearly explained in the Research Proposal how observation/recording of artefacts will be done using methods/technology that will not affect the state and quality of the artefact(s). (Ethics clearance for observing the natural environment should be sought from the University Engineering and Environment Research Ethics Committee.)
⁶ Permission from the relevant authorities, offices and/or owners of human-made environment(s) and artefacts should be sought with full disclosure of the nature of the Research Project. Relevant documentation that details the exact source, location, quantity, nature and dimensions of samples, and methods to be employed in extracting them, should be attached to this application, as well as an agreement for their return, if relevant. (For extraction of samples from the natural environment and/or engineered phenomena, ethics clearance should be sought from the University Environment and Engineering Research Ethics Committee.)

¹ Intended partial disclosure should be fully motivated in the Research Proposal or in a separate, detailed statement which spells out why partial disclosure is suitable for data collection. Contingencies, conditions, possible interpersonal, social, and other consequences and their mitigation should be fully elaborated, including participant debriefing where necessary. The statement should be signed and dated by the Principal Investigator and the Main Supervisor (in the case of postgraduate studies).

Please note that the reasons mentioned here also need to be clearly described in the proposal.

Animal – any live non-human vertebrate and non-vertebrate, that is, insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, encompassing domestic animals, purpose-bred animals, livestock and wildlife.

Application may request approval for up to three (3) years.
Scientific activities involving the use of animals must not commence before receipt of written approval.
Please note your ACTUAL start date will be the date of your Ethics certificate from the relevant REC.

i.e. the investigator will not intervene to kill the animal humanely before death occurs in the course of a scientific activity. Such projects require approval from the respective Department

Wherever possible, applications should be endorsed by a statistician or biometrician, or reference given to an appropriate statistical text.
