Research Seed Money (RSM)/ Research Seed Grant
NIILM University has established a comprehensive policy to promote and support research activities among its faculty and scholars. A key component of this initiative is the provision of Research Seed Money (RSM), designed to assist faculty members in initiating and developing research projects.
Key aspects of the Research Seed Money policy include:
- Mandatory Research Projects: All doctorate faculty members are required to undertake at least one institutional research project in their area of expertise. The university provides the necessary seed funding to support these internal projects.
- Proposal Submission and Evaluation: Faculty members seeking seed funding must submit their research proposals using the prescribed format. These proposals are evaluated by the RSM Grant Committee, which determines funding eligibility for a period of up to two years.
- Utilization and Reporting: Upon completion of the project, faculty members are required to submit a Utilization Certificate to the Accounts Section and a detailed project completion report to the Director R&D Cell. The RSM Grant Committee reviews the project report and, based on their evaluation, recommends the issuance of a project completion certificate.
This structured approach ensures that research activities at NIILM University are systematically supported and monitored, fostering a robust research culture within the institution.
