RESEARCH GRANTS IN MALAYSIA - ResearchBrains : The Benefits Of Researchbrains | PhD Assistance

Why do we need grants?

The two most important things of any research project are idea and execution. The successful execution of the research project depends not only on the effort of the researcher but also on the available infrastructure to conduct the research. Many good ideas do not materialize into a good research project because of a lack of funding. so, we are preferring funding to have recognition overcome the economic crisis.

There are two types of funding,

INTERNAL FUNDING

Internal Funding is supported by the university by their college committees and their staff members.

EXTERNAL FUNDING

The other private organizations support researchers for the development by offering grants fully or partially.
