ORIC Of IIU Organises Workshop On Writing Winning Proposal

Research, Innovation, and Commercialization (ORIC) of the International Islamic University (IIU) hosted a workshop with the theme “Funding Your Research: A Workshop on Writing a Winning Proposal”.

Speaking to the attendees, IIUI President Dr. Hathal Homoud Alotaibi praised the work of the Vice President for Research and Enterprise (R&E) and ORIC offices and emphasised that research was the most important task and that these activities were required.

We’re working to make academic and research excellence the standard at this university, he declared. Finding opportunities for research and ultimately succeeding in that hunt required training and direction, and he thought the workshop was a positive step in that direction.

He emphasised that university researchers should keep up with the standards of current research funding as it would not only help the institution attract more research funding but would also be a major factor in raising university rankings.

Speaking on the possibilities for funding with the HEC and other national and international organisations were Dr. Hammad Omer, a Commonwealth scholar, and Dr. Farida Anjum, director of the Higher Education Commission’s Research and Innovation Division.

The steps and rules for obtaining various projects and funding were thoroughly discussed. The essentials of research proposals, common pitfalls to avoid, and improvement stages and techniques during proposal writing and before submission were all highlighted by Dr. Hammad Omer in his talk on how to write winning proposals.

The audience enthusiastically received his presentation, “A Case Study: Self Experience of his Research: How Holy Quran Memorization Affects Our Memory”. Dr. Farida Anjum, Director of HEC’s Research & Innovation Division, provided information on the funding options.

She gave detailed information regarding the evaluation criteria and competitive research grants offered by HEC. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Amir, Director of ORIC, and Prof. Dr. Ahmed Shuja Syed, Vice President Research and Enterprise, both spoke at the event.
