Introduction

Research and development plays a critical role towards success of any organization.

The faculty, staff and students of COMSATS Institute of Information Technology

strive for research excellence at all their campuses. The quality of research at CIIT is

not only acknowledged nationally but is recognized at a global upfront too.

In order to facilitate the researcher in CIIT Lahore campus; a Research Guidelines

Handbook has been developed to give a concrete insight to the researcher for three

research relevant domains:

1. Guidelines for Journal Publication in an HEC recognized journal.

2. Application procedure for acquiring Research Grant.

3. Guidelines for Research Travel Grant.

1. Guidelines for Journal Publication in an HEC recognized journal

Every academic or non-academic researcher yearns to publish his/ her research paper

in a reputable international or national journal. In Pakistan, Higher Education

Commission (HEC) is the governing body of university education. The local and

international journals recognized by HEC are only acceptable for publication in

Pakistan. Following procedure should be followed in order to secure quality research

publication in Pakistan.

Procedure for Journal Publication

a. Reading comprehensively the mechanism for classification of HEC recognized

journals.

b. Decide whether to publish research paper in local or international journal

recognized by HEC.

c. If interested in publishing research paper in a local HEC recognized journal, then

refer to the discipline wise list of HEC locally recognized journals annexed in

relevant records and documents section.

d. However if interested in publishing paper in an international journal recognized

by HEC; then go through the HEC guidelines on recognition of international

journals.

e. After selecting the international or local journal for publication, the author should

go through the HEC Ethical Guidelines for Author (s) for research publications.

f. The selected journal’s website is to be visited to study submission of manuscript

guidelines.

g. The submission guidelines are to be followed for sending the manuscript for

publication.

h. If the researcher is unable to comprehend the submission guidelines for author (s)

as specified on the selected journal’s website; then ORIC will assist them in it.

i. Once the manuscript is submitted, ORIC should be informed about it.

j. Upon the publishing of research paper in a reputable journal, ORIC should be

submitted the published manuscript copy.

k. ORIC will verify the information of the published manuscript.

l. ORIC will compile all department’s published manuscripts information in the

form of a research database.

m. The compiled research database of CIIT Lahore will be sent by ORIC to the

Principle Seat.

n. Principle seat will acknowledge the research information of CIIT Lahore, and

invite CIIT Lahore researchers for Research productivity Award (RPA).

o. Principle seat will notify ORIC about the RPA ceremony schedule. ORIC will

convey the schedule of RPA to faculty, staff and students of CIIT Lahore.

p. ORIC will disseminate the RPAs to the concerned departments after receiving it

from the Principle seat.

2. Guidelines for Applying for Research Grant

Dearth of research literature / equipment is a major impediment to the productivity of

many creative and talented faculty members / researchers in all disciplines in

Universities/Degree awarding institutions. In most cases these researchers need

substantial financial support for research projects to allow them in their research

pursuits.

In the absence of such facilities the researchers, specifically the young ones, are

discouraged and are looking for better opportunities in developed countries. To avoid

this brain-drain, HEC has initiated several research grant program under which

creative researchers are awarded research grants. At present, there are four research

grant programs under HEC, for which researchers if eligible can apply:

I. National Research Program for Universities (NRPU)

II. Start-Up Research Grant Program (SRGP)

III. Pak-US Science & Technology Cooperation Program Phase-VI

IV. PERIDOT- Franco-Pakistani Hubert Curien Partnership (PHC) Program

Procedure for applying for Research Grant Programs of HEC

a. The Principal Investigator (PI) and co PI after writing a complete Research

Proposal will contact ORIC for assistance.

b. ORIC will provide the concerned PI and co PI complete guidelines about the

various Research Grant opportunities available from the forum of HEC and

other funding agencies.

c. There are multiple local and international research grant opportunities

available from the platform of HEC and other funding agencies.

d. ORIC will assist the PI and co PI to reach a mutual decision to opt for which

specific local or foreign research grant opportunities by different national and

international funding agencies.

Project Details

NATIONAL RESEARCH PROGRAM FOR UNIVERSITIES

Lack of basic equipment, laboratory supplies, scientific literature and financial resources is often a great

impediment to the productivity of many creative and talented professors and researchers in institutions of

higher learning. In most cases these researchers need modest financial support for research projects to enable

them to pursue their research. In the absence of such support, the researchers, particularly faculty members are

discouraged and do not indulge in research. Hence, to avoid such situations, HEC has initiated ‘National

Research Program for Universities’ (NRPU) under which creative faculty members of Universities / DAIs are

awarded grants to enable them to conduct their research. Research Grants proposals submitted to HEC

undergo a procedure of rigorous peer review by top experts in the field as per established international norms.

Purpose and Nature

• Research grants are awarded on competitive merit for high-level and promising scientific research projects to be carried out in Pakistan by university teachers. The purpose of these grants is to promote scientific research in areas relevant to national needs.

Research Domain • The Research Grants Program provides support for research projects in all disciplines of

Science, Engineering and Technology, Social Sciences, and Humanities.

Duration • A research grant will normally be provided for a period of one to three years. However, there is

no restriction on the lower limit.

Eligibility and Qualification

• The applicant (Principal Investigator, PI) should be a full time faculty member of a university. He/she should have an advanced academic degree and relevant research experience.

Approval Procedure

• HEC has designated focal points in all disciplines / sub disciplines. They are the top experts in their fields. All research grants proposals are forwarded to these focal points for evaluation by at least three experts. Focal points will do initial screening of the projects sent to them by HEC. In case they do not consider a project suitable for funding, they can reject the project at their level or send it back to HEC for revision by PI, if they so desire.

• The comments of focal points and reviewers are considered as the final decision in the case.

Agreement

• After the Research Grant is approved for funding, a written agreement is signed between the HEC, the grantee (PI) and his/her institute. The host institute must administer the grant according to the Agreement and provide laboratory space, and other facilities necessary for the project. The equipment, material and literature provided for the project through the Research Grants Program remains the property of the institute after the project is completed.

• The grantee must keep the HEC properly informed about any applications of the results obtained and acknowledge support from HEC in all publications or presentations. Any research result obtained under the NRPU must be made freely available without restrictions

• The Project(s) will be cancelled, if PI is not following the terms & conditions laid down by HEC.

Annual Report

• PI is required to submit a short annual report along with audited funds utilization report of the project within fifteen days of the completion of each year. Progress report should highlight major achievements during the reporting period and completion of targets/goals as envisaged in the Proposal for the subject year.

• The release of the subsequent year award is tied up with the approval of the Annual Progress Report by the experts
