Fast-track Research Funding (FRF) Program
Introduction:
Emanating from the University's vision to be a beacon of knowledge and in realization of its mission to achieve excellence and leadership in scientific research, the University Vice Rectorate for Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research seeks to prepare an attracting and supporting environment for its researchers. This can be achieved by adopting and offering a number of encouraging initiatives and programs of scientific research, including the "Fast-track Research Funding (FRF)" Program. This program is considered to be a qualitative leap in the procedures of funding research and increasing its effectiveness according to the researchers needs in order to meet the University's strategic objectives. The objectives can be realized by enhancing the quality of scientific research papers published in the classified journals, supporting the University's goal of obtaining institutional and program academic accreditation, and finally achieving advanced positions in the international classifications, which focus heavily on indicators of scientific production and publishing.
The Program's description and its importance
The project aims at encouraging and supporting researchers to publish their papers in the classified journals through smooth and easy procedures, i.e., they can receive funding without the need for the administrative and financial procedures with respect to the typical funding as most researchers believe that such procedures are of burden to them, consuming a lot of time and efforts. The new procedures enable the researcher to apply for funding easily by submitting a funding request once the research has been published in journals of impact factor, appearing in WOS or Scopus core collection. The smoothness of such procedures attracts the researchers and encourages them to increase the number of the University's classified scientific output.
The program offers a number of advantages supporting and encouraging research and publishing including the following:
- - No research proposal or refereeing is required for prior approval of funding.
- -The ability to apply in all knowledge fields without any specification.
- -The ability to apply for funding by the faculty members and the like, students, and the employees of the self-operated sector in the University.
- -The acceptance of joint and individual research
- -The acceptance of applications throughout the year
- -All automation of all Program's procedures
- -No contracts or reports are required
- -The specification of funding amount based on the classification of the publishing journal
- -Funding is approved within a short period of time
Program's objectives:
- -Increasing the number of scientific research papers published in the classified publishing journals with impact factor that appear in the databases of WOS Core Collection or Scopus.
- -Establishing an attracting research environment by facilitating research funding procedures and enhancing their efficiency.
- -Upgrading the rank of the University in the international classifications and supporting it to be enlisted in new classifications.
- -Encouraging the University to obtain academic institutional and program accreditation.
The University's strategic objectives that may be achieved by this Program:
- -Enhancing the quality of scientific outcomes
- -Strengthening research capacities at the University
- -Supporting and promoting student excellence
