Why Research Funding Matters & How UM supports

At Universiti Malaya, we believe research is the foundation for innovation, discovery, and societal impact. Securing the right funding is essential to empower researchers to explore new ideas, advance knowledge, and address real-world challenges. To support this mission, Universiti Malaya provides structured assistance through the Pusat Pengurusan Geran Penyelidikan (PPGP), helping researchers manage their grants effectively so they can focus on producing meaningful outcomes. Our mission is to enable impactful research through efficient and transparent grant management. By working closely with academics, funders, and partners, we transform funding opportunities into successful research projects that advance knowledge, address societal challenges, and drive innovation. 

 

Role of Pusat Pengurusan Geran Penyelidikan (PPGP) 

The Pusat Pengurusan Geran Penyelidikan (PPGP) is committed to supporting the research community by managing the full cycle of research grants — from proposal application to post-award administration. We ensure efficient, transparent, and professional grant management while offering guidance, monitoring, and advisory services. 

Our support for researchers includes: 

  • Identifying funding opportunities and assisting with proposal preparation 
  • Managing submissions, reviews, and approvals 
  • Overseeing financial management, claims, and procurement 
  • Monitoring project progress, reporting, and compliance 
  • Providing workshops, training, and advisory services 

 

Categories of Research Grants

PPGP manages a wide range of research grants available to UM researchers, including: 

  • University Grants – The research that are funded/sponsored through Research Fund and University Research Fund. Projects must be competitive in nature 
  • National Grants – The research fund that obtained from the external source of ministries & government agencies. 
  • Private – The research funding received from private agencies/society/ industry/company established in Malaysia. 
  • International – The research fund received from international universities/ agencies/ institutions, foreign government & companies. 

 

Through these funding opportunities, UM ensures that researchers are equipped with the resources needed to pursue impactful, high-quality research.

Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE)
Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS)
The SATREPS program is promoting international joint research with the goal of resolving global issues as one aspect of “science and technology diplomacy,” which connects science and technology with diplomacy for the mutual advancement of both.

Worldwide attention directed toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) illustrates the increasing complexity of global issues such as climate change, food problems, natural disasters, and infectious disease. Developing countries that are more susceptible to their impacts are being placed in a difficult situation. To resolve these issues will require scientific and technological innovation, putting the results of research to use in society, developing human resources, and improving research capacity across national boundaries.

In the SATREPS program, researchers from Japan and developing countries are together tackling issues in the four fields of Environment and Energy, Bioresources, Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, and Infectious Disease Control*, discovering new knowledge and technologies with real-world applications in light of local needs, and thus contributing to the international community that is working toward sustainable development.

• To promote research projects of high national priority in real estate;
• To promote research that addresses the needs of Malaysia real estate industry;
• To encourage joint efforts among real estate research institutions;
• To foster R&D links between the public and private sectors; and
• To enhance the nation’s global competitiveness through internationalisation of real estate research.

Given that the scope on real researches is predominantly socio-economic, activities directed towards deeper insight and knowledge advancement are relevant even if the proposed research projects are not currently seen as commercially significant. Such activities contribute towards greater understanding of socio-economic phenomena and will ultimately contribute to informed decisions for improved management of the nation’s resources.
