3 PREAMBLE Sponsored Projects are the major source of revenue for a University to equip adequate research infrastructure facilities to conduct both fundamental and applied research in thrust areas. The state of the art facilities can be created with grants from major funding agencies such as DST, SERB, DBT, CSIR, DRDO, MoIT, MoEF, DAE BRNS, etc. The sponsoring agencies shall be State and Central Government Departments, private companies and international organizations. Realizing the importance, a separate Centre for Sponsored Research and Consultancy has been created in B.S. Abdur Rahman University. This centre shall be responsible for the promotion of sponsored projects, industrial consultancy and entrepreneurship development. OBJECTIVES The centre will motivate faculty members to actively involve in sponsored projects, consultancy and University Industry interactions. Encourage faculty to write project proposals in thrust areas of both pure and applied research with the objective of creating new knowledge/ developing new technology. The centre shall act as a catalyst to create state of the art facilities through funded projects in the University to do research in cutting edge technology. Guidelines shall be offered for smooth implementation of sponsored projects 2

4 Conduct workshops/ invited lectures on recent themes for sponsored projects by inviting experts from the funding agencies. The centre shall also evaluate the progress of the on going projects periodically. Promote University Industry partnership through industry visits, in plant training in industries for students and faculty members and consultancy work. Develop and promote entrepreneurs among students through training programmes and incubation of their innovative ideas. FACILITATION ACTIVITIES FOR PROMOTION OF RESEARCH Organization of workshops to identify thrust areas for writing project proposals. Invited lectures by experts from funding agencies to identify thrust areas. Participation in seminars, workshops and conferences relating to Research & Development. Project feasibility proof through UG and PG students project work. Presentation of the proposals by faculty before In house Expert Committee for suggestions to improve the quality of project proposals. Suitable support and guidance to write project proposals. Brief meetings with HoDs and faculty members for follow up action. Incentive schemes to faculty members for successful sanction of sponsored projects from the funds of the University. 3

5 MOTIVATION AND FACILITATION OF FACULTY MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY The following programmes were organized to motivate and facilitate the faculty members of the University to write funded project proposal. One day workshop on Preparation of proposal for R & D projects was conducted for the benefit of faculty members of the University on April 4, 2009 by Vice Chancellor, Dr. P. Kanniappan.
