RESEARCH GRANTS POLICY

  1. East West University Center for Research and Training (EWUCRT) calls for research proposal from faculty members once in a year. The center circulates a Research Proposal Guideline with the invitation of ‘Call for Research Proposal’.
  2. After receiving research proposal from faculty members, the Center sends a proposal to internal and external experts for review with a Research proposal Evaluation Guideline.
  3. EWUCRT shares the comments with the respective author(s) for revising his/ her proposal based on the comments received from reviewers and requests the author(s) to resubmit the proposal after incorporating reviewers’ comments. It may be noted here that if the Center receives negative comments from both internal and external experts, the research proposal is rejected.
  4. After the author(s) resubmit the revised proposal the Center sends the revised proposal to the reviewers again for cross checking whether their comments are duly incorporated or not.
  5. Subsequently, the Center arranges a seminar on research proposal, where the author(s) also receive comments from discussants, experts, faculty members and other participants. The author(s) of respective research proposal then incorporates all the comments received from seminar, and resubmit the revised research proposal to EWUCRT office.
  6. After following all these steps, the Center considers a research proposal for funding/grant.
  7. During the research the researcher(s) provide progress reports.
  8. Upon completion of the research and submission of the draft research report, the Center sends the report to the respective reviewers for review and comments.
  9. Again, the Center sends the reviewers’ comments to the author(s) for incorporating comments and requests the author(s) to resubmit the revised research report to EWUCRT office.
  10. Upon receipt of the revised research report, another seminar is arranged by EWUCRT. After the seminar, the author(s) resubmit a research report to EWUCRT after necessary modification based on comments received from the seminar participants.
  11. The Center also checks plagiarism in the research report to prevent academic dishonesty.
  12. Thereafter, the Center sends a research report to an English expert for English editing.
  13. Finally, the Center publishes the research report as a working paper.
