The declaration of support refers to the requirement for the department/institute to sign a declaration stating their willingness to provide necessary space and equipment for the research. Additionally, they will take responsibility for all administrative procedures associated with the project. This declaration should be included as an attachment to the consolidated list of applicants as part of the application process.

  2. The consolidated list must be submitted to the Office of Research and Development (R&D) within the designated deadline set by the university for further processing and submission to NSTC.
  3. The Personnel Office will verify whether the applicant is a full-time staff member within the university's official staffing structure.
