The Research Committee will then look at your application and will be able to tell you whether you should continue with the process, or whether you should rather wait another year or two. We will also help you to improve the quality of your application. As a matter of fact, if you do consider to apply, please inform Aretha and she will then send you a confidential document entitled "Tips and traps". The purpose of this document is to help you to avoid all the pitfalls and to improve the quality of your application.

Potential applicants and those invited for re-evaluation can log onto NRFOnline (http:/nrfonline.nrf.ac.za/) to apply. All the information regarding the call will be placed on the Research Intranet - also attached herewith for you to read. Cynthia Mamabolo (x3610) or Patricia Smit (x2848) from the Research Office is available to assist with any queries.

Please send your draft application to [email protected] - electronic copies, not hard copies.
