The proposal has to be submitted online at ioe.du.ac.in on or before September 30.

“In continuation of the commitment to support and expand its research profile, the University under the Institution of Eminence (IoE) scheme invites short-term research proposals (one-year duration) from the faculty members of the University Departments for the year 2021-22," DU said in official notification.

It must be noted that the decision of the reviewers and the Project Evaluation Committee (PEC) will be final. The proposed study should address an inquiry with a clear hypothesis and specific objective and expected outcome, which is to be achieved within one year. The experimental work must be designed in such a way that the software, equipment, machinery is already available in the laboratory of the PI, and/or Co-PI.

As per the notification, the faculty member has to be a permanent employee of the University at the time of submitting the project proposal and must have minimum 12 months of service left before the date of superannuation. However, the ad-hoc faculty in the departments and colleges can join the research as co-investigators.
