Term of Project Application
Project Application Requirements for Use of the Panzi Database

All applications must provide sufficient detail to allow assessment of the project’s feasibility and relevance to Panzi and ICART. This includes data requested, research costs and professional merit.

A project’s request for access to Panzi Bank data must be detailed in a maximum of 10 pages. It must include:

  1. Project title;
  2. Research rationale: context, frame of reference, research questions (and hypotheses where relevant) and the project’s contribution to the scientific literature;
  3. Analytical approaches and proposed methodology, ethical considerations;
  4. Detailed requirements for data use:
  • Justification for using the Panzi data bank;
  • Data requirements;
  • Period covering the required data;
  • Complete and final list of required data and variables. This can be appended. Note that adding or modifying data after project approval requires the approval of the ICART Scientific Committee (may require additional costs).


Expected results:

  • Data cross-tabulation: List of variables involved; number of tables and their dimensions; Statistical summary to support analysis; 
  • For modeling: dependent and independent variables, type of modeling or regressions.
  • Applicable weighting for data, if relevant. Software(s) used. 
  • Anticipated project start and end dates;
  • Detailed budget and source of project funding;


Name and contact details of principal investigator and other investigators and staff. It is important to indicate which researcher(s) must have access to the data so that they can be granted an access account;

  • Appendix 1: If this is a student research project (1st, 2nd or 3rd cycle), include the supervisor’s letter of support. 
  • Appendix 2: CV (not included in the two (2) page protocol).
  • Appendix 3: Questionnaire (any other collection tool in the case of a project not using the Panzi banks).
  • Appendix 4: Consent form. 
  • Appendix 5: Knowledge transfer/application plan.


All research projects conducted at Panzi by international researchers must respect the following principles:

  • Partnerships must be developed with accomplished Congolese researchers or those in training;
  • Research projects must meet international and Congolese research standards. They must also obtain the approval of the local ethics committee, as required by Congolese law;
  • A data management agreement must be signed before the research begins. A copy of the final data resulting from the research, as well as the code book, must be shared with the relevant local institutions;
  • Congolese researchers, as well as Congolese researchers-in-training, will participate in the production of publications related to the project.
