The NU Research Support and Incentive Program pursues this goal through the following broad actions:

• Offer financial support to encourage faculty members to initiate research projects that have the potential to gain extramural funding
• Strengthen the Ph.D program by offering fellowships to meritorious candidates and financial support for their thesis related research
• Encourage undergraduate / post-graduate student research through short-term fellowships and linkage with research grants
• Encourage research productivity and instil quality consciousness through an incentive program for faculty
