  4. There is a need to design the RU funding to show continuity and nurture young researchers to become mature research leaders From individual to team to cluster

  5. Definitions • Group is when all are working together but there is a leader and a group of people that do their own work. Some pull their weight but others are in the there for a ride. The members may/not understand the whole mission and vision of the group. Equivalent to “mini MOSTI”. USM is not in favour of this. It does not nurture nor enrich the group. • A team is when all members are equally important. They all pull their weight and there must be bonding with rapport and trust among each other to deliver. They all understand the whole mission and vision of the team. Each team is multidisciplinary and show sustainability of cohorts. A mature team can become a cluster.

  6. From team to cluster to center to institute • Teams must be allowed to nurture. Spirit of trust and sharing must be enforced. • Teams can gather together working on an area of focus and develop into a Cluster. A cluster is a combined number of teams with the shared mission to deliver the vision of the cluster. The cluster is usually headed by a mature research leader with a proven track record. • Cluster formation cannot be forced. There must be rapport among the team members • Within each cluster, it must be multi-disciplinary, inter-PTJ, inter-institution. Must show sustainability of cohorts • A mature Cluster may eventually become CoE or strong enough to be an institute. • A group of Clusters may also form an institute.

  7. Cluster Definition: • Multidisciplinary • Inter PTJ • National linkage • International linkage • Mission • Vision • Proven track record • Sustainable with Continuity • Problem solving CoE Matured Cluster New team

  9. Way Forward: New RDC funding at USM Competitive grants Young researchers nurtured to become matured research leaders Young researchers nurtured to become mature research leaders

  10. RU GRANTS All RU grants are now considered as competitive grants and agressively monitored. RU funds will be made available to individuals, teams or clusters. The RU grants are henceforth named as: RU (for Individuals - RU) (Max ceiling: RM 250,000 for 3 years) RU Team (RUT) (Max ceiling: RM 1 million for 4 years) RU Cluster (RUC) (Max ceiling: RM 5 million 5 years) To encourage researchers to apply for outside grants, each researcher is allowed to be PI for only 2 RU grants at any one time. Researchers can also form a team/cluster to bid on Advanced Study Initiatives (Top down projects) that will be determined by USM aligned with the priority areas of the country or of USM as part of its strategies as an APEX university. These topics will be announced from time to time.

  11. RU Team (RUT) Grants • RUT has a ceiling of up to RM 1 million for a maximum of 4 years . • Evaluated based on merit • Must show multi-disciplinary • Provide people-oriented solutions to sustainability issues, wealth creation and/or bottom billion agenda are encouraged • Need to show a minimum RU KPI of 25 with a minimum of 5 researchers • Submit evidence for verification of RU KPI

  12. Team Individual project Combination of multidisciplinary Individuals Individual project Individual project Individual project Each team will be measured against RU KPIs Minimum to qualify RU KPI =25

  15. RU Cluster (RUC) Grants Mature research leaders with proven track records are eligible to lead RUC grants RUC has a ceiling of up to RM 5 million for a maximum of 5 years . RUC are research funds that involve collaborations. Top down projects 1. Multi-disciplinary and single institution(USM) ;(inter-PTJ) or 2. Multi-disciplinary (inter-PTJ) and multi-institutional (inter- varsities) using (matching grant concepts for a max of RM 5 million for USM based-researchers only) Evaluated based on merit . All clusters upon evaluation must show RU KPI of average 50 (at least 3 years of data) with a minimum of 5 researchers to be eligible for application Submit evidence for verification of RU KPI Providing people-oriented solutions to sustainability issues, bottom billion and wealth creation agenda are mandatory Clusters that are ready and show achievement of RU KPI – 75 or higher AFTER completion of the project can be considered by Senate to be recognised as a CoE

  16. Cluster Team Combination of multidisciplinary Teams Inter-PTJ, Inter institution Team Team Team Each cluster will be measured against RU KPIs. Minimum to qualify = 50.

  18. EVALUATION POLICY • To ensure smooth transition of R-D-C, all Research platform evaluation committees must consist of individuals with the following capabilities to address issues on : • Ethics • Social aspects • Cultural aspects • Innovation aspects • Additional members are domain experts • The committee will also advise if the grant proposal need to be submitted to the animal or human ethics committee and biosafety committee • RU, RUT and RUC grants will be evaluated by the University Evaluation Committee via cycles (every 3 months; Mac, June, Sept and Dec) to ensure evaluation is thorough and grants can be disbursed on time • All RU grants can be submitted at any time but the evaluation exercise will occur in the cycles determined.

  19. RESEARCH UNIVERSITY KEY PERFORMANCE INDEX (KPI) GUIDELINE FOR RESEARCHER

  20. 1. Research University (RU) KPI categorized as follows:Section B: Quantity and Quality of ResearchersSection C: Quantity and Quality of ResearchSection D: Quantity of PostgraduatesSection E: Quality of PostgraduatesSection F: InnovationSection G: Professional Services and GiftsSection H: Networking and Linkages2. Researchers are advised to fill individually the ASSESSOR’S REPORT FORM that had been developed by Bahagian Pembangunan Lestari dan Korporat (BPLK) for RU grant application only.3. The ASSESSOR’S REPORT FORM is an online system which can calculate automatically the marks of each section in RU KPI once the user key in the data/input. It is available at http://ernd.usm.my

  21. 4.Researchers need to print out the marks and attach it with the Grant Application Form before submitting to School Research Committee (JKPTJ) or University Evaluation Committee (JKPU). Only applications that meet the minimum requirement of RU KPI will be considered.5. Addressing the RU KPI as required in the Grant Application From:i.RU - minimum of 10 marks for RU KPI Means that the total marks of the Principal Investigator (PI) and his co-researchers MUST at least achieve a minimum of 10 marksii.RU-Team – minimum of 25 marks for RU KPIMeans that the total marks of the team members for the year evaluated (PI and co-researchers) This is to encourage formation of new teams MUST at least achieve a minimum of 25 marks..iii. RU-Cluster – minimum of 50 marks for RU KPIMeans that the total marks of the cluster (PI and co-researchers for at least 3 years) MUST at least achieve a minimum of 50 marks6.For further information please contact the Science Officers of the respective Research Platforms.
