If you are a lecturer or student and have an idea for an excellent research project that requires research grants, you may consider using the ‘Nuguide Research Grants’ open call. Research awards vary and they can be made to qualified individuals, research teams or institutions to enable them carry out both standard and high quality research study in their chosen or agreed area.
A great deal of flexibility is applicable to subject areas. The research work will however have academic relevance or have development and social impact.
