Research

We perform research to better understand our donors, improve our processes, and increase our knowledge in the transfusion field. We collaborate with other researchers at the national and international levels.
All research applications are approved by the SANBS Scientific Review Committee and the SANBS Human Research Ethics Committee to ensure that protocols are scientifically and ethically sound. Please read the Information for applicants as well as the Instruction manual before you apply here.

We comply with the US federal government’s Financial Conflict of Interest regulations for all US federal government funded research. The SANBS PHS (NIH) Conflict of Interest Policy and Declaration Form must be reviewed, completed and complied with by all investigators receiving US federal grant funding.
