Through the Policy on Incentivisation, SPU offers its researchers non-competitive research funds such as:<\/p>

  1. Conference Attendance Support Grant<\/li>
  2. Publication Support Grant for Emerging and Early Career Academics<\/li>
  3. Supervisor Support Grant for Master’s and Doctoral Student Throughput<\/li>
  4. DHET Approved Research Output Grant<\/li>

    The external research grants represent the number of staff members who successfully managed to source funding from various funding instruments and institutions to kick-start and strengthen their fundamental research career at SPU. These sources of funding enable SPU researchers to establish themselves in their fields of research while forging sustainable collaborations and partnerships with industry or other researchers from elsewhere. SPU researchers work with various funders such as the NRF, WRC, DSI, CSIR, IDRC and many others.<\/p>

    National Research Foundation (NRF)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

    The NRF is an independent statutory body established through the\u00a0National Research Foundation Act\u00a0(Act No 23 of 1998)<\/a>. The NRF funds research, the development of high-end Human Capacity and critical research infrastructure to promote knowledge production across all disciplinary fields. The goal of the NRF is to create innovative funding instruments, advance research career development, increase public science engagement and to establish leading-edge research platforms that will transform the scientific landscape and inspire a representative research community to aspire to global competitiveness. The Research Office at Sol Plaatje University houses two Designated Authority (DA) roles for all NRF grants. For more information on available funding from the NRF kindly consult the NRF website or NRF General Application Guide.<\/p>

    Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) \u2013 University Capacity Development Programme (UCDP)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

    The UCDP is intended to enable an integrated approach to capacity development across three focus areas, namely student development: staff development and programme\/curriculum development. The UCDP is meant to be transformative, it must work to disrupt and transform apartheid era student and staff participation and success patterns at universities. As well as contribute to the development of universities as institutions that reflect and nurture South African and African identity and diversity The implementation of the UCDP can be enabled through the University Capacity Development Grant (UCDG) allocation to universities. SPU participates in the various sub-programmes funded through the UCDP.<\/p>

    Sub-Programme 1:<\/strong> University Capacity Development Grant (UCDG)<\/p>

    Research capacity development for academics is undertaken through 4 of the 9 approved projects under UCDG.<\/p>

    Sub-Programme 2:<\/strong> University-led Collaborative Projects<\/p>

    Sub-Programme 3:<\/strong> Nationally led Programmes<\/p>

    SPU participates in the nGAP, USDP, FPP, HELMP and EDHE programmes<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
