EXTERNAL Funding
Experienced UTAR researchers are well-recognized for their research work. Since 2005, they have secured external funding in projects. Figure 4 below shows the amount of external fundings received (funding in UTAR) by our researchers as well as their collaboration with other organisations (funding not in UTAR) from years 2005 until 2016.
*Note: The funding amount is reflected in the original year the funding is approved, not in the actual disbursement year.
In year 2016, a total amount of RM5.357 million was secured by the researchers (funding in UTAR) from external funding sources listed in Chart 1. UTAR researchers had also actively collaborated with other organisations/institutions (funding not in UTAR) in numerous external funded research projects amounting to a total of RM2.342 million. The funding organisations/institutions are shown in Chart 2.
