All papers to meet HIR KPI must be SUBMITTED by July 2015

  17. UM-MoE HIR in CRISIS? • PIs and their students and RAs must show URGENCY in their research and delivery of KPIs • Infuse SENSE OF URGENCY to overseas collaborators • Insist on RAPID DELIVERY from Outsourcing Work • PIs and RAs must stay focused in getting papers submitted and published • Must have targeted output every week based on SHORTFALL STATUS • Acceptance of papers takes time and must be considered • All papers to meet HIR KPI must be SUBMITTED by July 2015 • MoE will not accept data based on evidence of submission • URGENCY SADLY LACKING – NO BUSINESS AS USUAL FROM NOW ON!

Immediate action • To declare HIR in CRISIS MODE? • To place HIR in priority by Support Services (JPPHB, Bendahari, BSM, PTM, ICR, Legal Unit) • To tighten monitoring of ALL projects • To ensure obtaining KPI date in Real Time • To speed up employment of RA, this will be handled by Central Secretariat on 1st April 2014

  22. UPDATE ON HIR II • OUR PLAN • Request for RM 1 billion • Capital Expenditure (CAPEX – Equipment) should NOT EXCEED 40 % of the Overall Total • 40 % = 400 million • 60 % of the Overall Total should be OPEX (Operational Expenditure) • 60 % = 600 million

  23. UPDATE ON HIR II • Chancellory has asked the HIR Committee to look into the request for equipment • There should be minimal or no duplication of equipment purchased under HIR I • High-end equipment to be housed in Central Facility Labs will be prioritized • Equipment must serve groups of researchers, not individuals • Smaller items for individual projects should be requested during full submission
