UNFUNDED RESEARCH PROJECT (PTB) GUIDELINE (Garis Panduan Geran Projek Penyelidikan Tanpa Biaya (PTB))

1.0 BACKGROUND

Universities and industries with inclination toward research and development have been collaborating on research projects based on legally established funding schemes or through direct funding to an individual with mutual interest. Besides these normally financed research projects, researchers at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) are also conducting projects that are not funded by any formal research grant or financial support including grants from Malaysian or international governmental and non-government agencies or foundations, or funding from business or private entities. There is a need to formalize the official registration of unfunded research projects conducted by UiTM researchers at UiTM.

2.0 AIM

The key deliverables of a PTB project must be in line with strategic requirements of Sections C and F of the Malaysian Research Assessment I (MyRA I) Instrument outlined by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia through its National Higher Education Strategic Planning (PSPTN). This document outlines the definition, funding scope, scheme of registration and management of PTB projects.

3.1 Unfunded Research

Any research project that is conducted independently by UiTM researchers at UiTM without any financial supported by a legal funding source is termed as Unfunded Research and contracted as PTB (for Penyelidikan Tanpa Biaya).

4.0 AREAS OF RESEARCH

The PTB scheme registers all projects in the fields of Science and Technology, Social Science and Humanities, and Business and Management.

5.0 ELIGIBILITY

5.1 Applicants must be full time and active academic members of UiTM.

5.2 Applicants from UiTM Selangor must be registered with the Community of Research (CoRe).

5.3 Membership in a PTB project by co-researchers from any UiTM campuses is permitted but limited to five (5) individuals.

6.0 PROJECT DURATION

6.1 A minimum period of six (6) months must be considered together with the limit of equivalent funding and the key deliverables listed in Sections 7 and 9 below, respectively, for a PTB project to be deemed as a research project.

6.2 Projects that have been completed more than 6 months before the time of application will not be registered. However, IRMI encourages registration of a PTB project before its commencement.

8.0 APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION PROCESSES

8.1 Step 1. A PTB applicant submits a completed PTB Registration Form (PTB-1) to the Research Management Center (RMC)-Institute of Research Management and Innovation (IRMI), UiTM Shah Alam:

8.2 Step 2. The applicant will be notified about the outcome of the application via an official letter signed by the Director of RMC-IRMI, UiTM Shah Alam.

8.3 Step 3. If approved, the applicant will be required to fill out the PTB Project Registration Confirmation Form (PTB-3) attached with the Approval Letter (PTB-2) and submit it to RMC. A copy of the Approval Letter and the PTB-3 will be mailed to the grant provider.

8.4 Step 4. Upon receiving the completed PTB-3, RMC shall register the project in the RMI Reporting System (iRES), which generates an automated email (PTB-4) with the project code and other details to the applicant.
