FAQ’s
6) I was not selected for UGSRS this year. Can I apply again?
A student can apply each year until he/she appears in the final year
exams. However, interns are not eligible.
23
7) I am trying to open the DrNTRUHS website, but it’s not working.
What should I do?
This may happen if your internet browser is not updated. Kindly
update your internet browser or try to access UGSRS link from
another location/ computer system.
8) Can one guide take two students or can submit two projects for
UGSRS?
Please note that one student should registrar once and submit only
one proposal. One guide can take only one student under him/her
each year. In case duplication of names of students or guides are
found, all applications will be automatically rejected.
No, This is not permitted. All regulatory, clinical trials fall under the
preview of Drugs & Cosmetics Act & Rules and should not be conducted by
an undergraduate student.
24
16) The result has been declared, and my UGSRS proposal has been
selected to carry out research between May-September. Do I need to
submit anything during this period before submitting my final report?
No, you do not have to submit anything now. You must obtain an ethics
committee approval before beginning your research. You are free to
complete your work during any 2 months between May – September and
submit the report before last date. At the time of report submission, you will
be required to submit all documents including ethical clearance or other
information like change of guide etc.
17) Ethics committee has not held any meeting yet? Can I submit
ethical clearance later?
Ethics committee approval should be obtained any time between Feb- May
before beginning your research work. Submission of ethical clearance at the
time of submission of application/proposal is optional. However before
beginning research the ethics committee approval is mandatory and
should be obtained. A copy of the same must be submitted along with the
project report. No research should be done if ethics committee has not given
the clearance. Report on research carried out without the ethical clearance
or late approval by IEC’s which does not give 2 months time for research or
for any other such reason, the report may not be accepted.
18) Due to some reasons Iam unable to work in my college. Can I now
change site of study and complete my work in another Institution?
No, you cannot. You have to do UGSRS from the same institute.
20) Do I need to submit all the raw data in excel sheet/Master sheet?
Yes, it is required.
No, you need to only submit one blank unsigned consent form/case report
form. Names or any confidential information about patients/ research
participants should not be submitted.
Yes, The student may approach another faculty member who fulfills
eligibility criteria from the same department and take permission of institute
25
authorities regarding the change.You do not need the permission of
Dr.NTRUHS for this change. However you need to inform Dr.NTRUHS
regarding this before project report submission time through email and also
update the same details at the time of report submission. The student must
carry out the research in his/her own institute under the guide who is
employed as a permanent full time faculty in the same institute.
You are free to publish a paper/ present your work in conferences without
seeking permission from Dr.NTRUHS. However you must acknowledge the
support received from Dr.NTRUHS under UGSRS program for your research
and send a reprint of your paper to Dr.NTRUHS for records.
26
About 6 months (around May or June) after report results are declared,
stipend will be transferred through online mechanism into the student’s own
single holder nationalized bank account as per details provided in the AAF.
An email will also to sent to inform the students at that time.
