Researchers and postgraduate students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University are invited and encouraged to make use of the research development and support mechanisms on offer by the Research, Development and Support division, by visiting the division on the 5th floor, Teaching block, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

The division consists of focused clusters under the management of two cluster managers:


Mr Jaques Vermeulen who manages the Grants Management Office dealing with pre-award budgeting and contracting aspects, as well as the post-award financial management of international research grants.


Dr Tania Brodovcky manages the Funding Opportunities and Capacity Development cluster.  This function supports and develops the RDSD's activities around research funding – internal faculty-specific funding processes (pre- and post-award), Subcommittee C of the Research Committee of Senate funding (pre- and post-award), as well as national and international funding agencies related to health research.  Capacity development activities include orientation of new faculty staff and post-graduate students, clinical research skills development courses, grant writing workshops and more.  Keep an eye out for the Division's new lunchtime information sessions on specific research support topics.

All health related research must, in terms if the Health Act No 61.2003 be approved by an accredited research ethics committee. Thus all health related research involving interaction with human participants, the use of potentially identifiable personal records, information or tissue specimens and human progenitor or stem cells requires the approval of a Stellenbosch University Research Ethics Committee before the research study commences.
