The research proposal with details above has been granted a waiver of the requirement to undergo ethical review. Please note the following:

This is not an ethical clearance letter. A waiver of the requirement to undergo ethical review means that the research proposal will not be reviewed, and thus cannot be approved ethically.

If it is envisaged at any point that the research methods will be amended, a Research Proposal Amendment Application Form (REC 8.0) must be completed and submitted to the REC Secretariat prior to the research being amended even if a waiver has been granted. Amendments to research may only be carried out once a new waiver or (if applicable) ethical clearance letter is issued. See Section 13 of the REC Standard Operating Procedures.

The requirement for ethical clearance renewal and closure is also waived.

The REC wishes you all the best for your studies.

Yours sincerely.

Prof. Christopher Stein
