Researchers to pay five times more for NACOSTI licenses The new rates will see master’s students pay up to Sh8,000 for expedited processing. News 18 min ago
The new rates will see Kenyan and East African Community (EAC) master’s students pay Sh6,000 for a standard research license, up from the current Sh1,000, while those seeking expedited processing will pay Sh8,000.
The sharp increase in fees, particularly for Kenyan master’s and PhD students, is likely to add to the cost of postgraduate research at a time when students already meet university, ethical review, data collection and fieldwork expenses.
An explanatory memorandum from NACOSTI shows that the Water Resources Training Institute charges Kenyan researchers Sh6,000 for Master’s research and Sh12,000 for PhD research, while the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) charges individuals Sh20,000 for biodiversity access and research permits.
