- Grant Selection 2009
Research Grant
Total proposals received were 32, of which 44% were doctorate. From total of 21 institutions, 17 were universities, 2 research centers, and 1 professional organization. Most proposals (91%) came from institutions in Java. Highest number of proposals came from UNIBRAW (5), IPB (4) & UGM (3). After first screening by the Scientific Members, 6 (19%) candidates were invited to attend a proposal writing workshop and told to revise the proposals. After revision, the proposals were sent to three external reviewers. Based on comments of the reviewers, all six candidates were invited to present their proposals orally, however, only 5 candidates passed the oral presentation. Candidates are now at the stage of revising their proposals again, which is due at the end of August. After re-review by external reviewers and scientific members, decision on winners is expected by mid September 2009.
