Getting University Authorization.

I received pending clearance for my research project, which means that while the bulk of my project was approved, there were still some uncertainties about some of the methodology of my research.

The biggest concern the CEP had with my project was the lack of university authorization, since I am going to be using UFRJ (the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) as my study site for my field work.

I had to go with Denise to UFRJ, Faculdade da Letras, and speak to an advisor who signed a paper stating that we could do field work in this area. We tried to do the same with PUC, but after an endless phone tag, we decided to limit our study site to UFRJ, and instead an another emphasis on the analyzation of the effectivity of the questionnaire, rather than a comparative study.
