PhD Support - Proposal Review Process

First, the student works closely with the supervisor/s to complete a well-supported and polished research protocol
Students should refer to our FMHS Proposal Writing Guide
When the supervisors believe the proposal is ready for review, the supervisor and HoD complete their sections of the
Form A3 review checklist (before the review)
Obtain the CVs of the student and any external supervisors
Include any pre-existing ethics approval certificates

The panel chair/convener (not the supervisor), who constitutes the committee; distributes the documents; and finally completes the Form A3 review checklist
CPR representative - allocated by the Tygerberg Doctoral Office
REC representative - any suitable member may be approached; HREC members may be approached from this list
One or more domain expert(s), who complete the reviewer form
The student presents the proposal to the panel and afterwards, makes all the recommended changes before re-submitting

After the successful completion of the review, the supervisor (or panel chair) emails the following five PDF-format documents to the Tygerberg Doctoral Office (tyg-phd@sun.ac.za) in a single email, copying the candidate:

Supervisor letter confirming that all requirements of the review committee were met
Fully completed and signed Form A3 review checklist
Summary report by chair or all reviewer reports
Final, edited proposal for ethics submission
Turnitin report on the final proposal (similarity score of no more than 15%)
