The internal NMMU research budget (excluding student bursaries, scholarships and Khulisa/Phulisa projects) has grown as follows: 2010 R11 553 530 (-7.74%) 2011 R16 984 855 (+47.01%) 2012 R19 275 161 (+13.48%) The increase since 2011 is mainly due to the creation of new support categories and increased research productivity by staff members.
Research Incentives Various incentives are in place to encourage staff members to engage in research activities that will enhance the research strategy of NMMU. Incentives include: bonuses for obtaining NRF rating, incentive funding for publications and postgraduate students qualifying for Department of Higher Education and Training research output subsidy, awards for the top faculty and institutional researchers, innovation awards and recognition of top performers in the performing and creative arts. The following amounts were paid during 2011 (based on 2009 outputs) for research incentives: 1. Faculty RTI Committees: R2 194 908.00 2. Individual researchers: R6 104 479.00 3. Promoter/Co-promoters and Supervisors/Co-supervisors (for M + D’s): R381 000.00 4. Rated researchers bonus: R300 000.00 Top-up of National Research Foundation Grants Two staff members from the Faculty of Engineering, the Built Environment and Information Technology (EBEIT), Prof K Abou-El- Hossein and Prof D Hattingh, were allocated R4 224 765 by the NRF under its National Equipment Programme (NEP). This amount was topped up in 2011 with R2 112 382 by NMMU. The NRF allocated a further R5 297 019 to Prof JAA Engelbrecht from the Faculty of Science under its Nano National Equipment Programme (NNEP). The NMMU participated in NRF’s Institutional Research Development Programme (IRDP). As part of the contractual agreement between NMMU and NRF an amount of R622 752 was contributed as top-up funding. The NMMU also participated in NRF’s Thuthuka Programme providing top-up funding of R661 729 to eight grant holders. The NRF’s incentive funding for rated researchers also requires contractual top-up for those staff members rated in the “L” and “Y” categories. This amounted to R160 000 compared to R222 000 in 2010. Page Fees Thirty-eight mainly new/emerging researchers were assisted with the payment of journal page fees, which amounted to R60 974, compared to R57 722 the previous year (51 staff members). Transformation and Equity Research Grants Twenty-six black and female researchers were granted support to the value of R237 707 to present papers at national and international conferences. Research Themes Grant The Research Themes Grant is aimed at fostering inter-disciplinary research and developing research expertise within the NMMU institutional research themes. An amount of R633 500 (15% less than the previous year) was allocated to 29 staff members. NMMU Masters and Doctoral Bursaries During 2011, 357 Masters students and 149 Doctoral candidates received bursaries from NMMU valued at R9 919 million. NRF scholarships (grant holder-linked and free-standing) to the value of R6 498 500 were also managed by the Research Office. Other external postgraduate scholarships amounted to R537 970. Research Development Grant and Teaching Replacement Grant The University provides two main streams of funding to its emerging researchers namely, the Teaching Replacement Grant and Research Development Funding. The budget for these funding streams during 2011 totalled R938 865. External Research Funding National Research Foundation The National Research Foundation (NRF) remains by far the largest external funder of research at NMMU and awarded R104 708 521.40 in 29 programmes during the 2011/12 Financial Year compared to R49 643 498 in the previous year. The main reason for this dramatic increase was the funding of equipment for the new HRTEM Centre at NMMU. Included in the NRF allocation is the Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme (THRIP) in which eight staff members participated in eight projects. The total amount received from NRF was R6 795 407 and from industry partners R10 424 175. It is encouraging to note that the industry contribution increased with just over R3 million in one year. 21
