Funding for Covid-19 Research
University Grants Commission awarded three projects to carry out collaborative research on various aspects of Covid-19. UGC had invited proposals from the Nepali Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to conduct Covid-19 based collaborative researches directly aiming to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resulting Covid-19 disease under eight thematic areas.
Out of 48 research proposals received, three proposals (each on social science, health science and science & technology clusters) were awarded to Tribhuvan University (TU) based on the competitive basis. Earlier, the Commission had restructured funding mechanism of Higher Education Reform Project (HERP), a five-year project funded by World Bank, by incorporating an additional disbursement link indicator, DLI 8, in the HERP Implementation Guidelines, 2071 for conducting online classes and carrying out research projects on corona virus in the universities and campuses.
