We managed to conduct grant preparation workshop on the 1st April 2015 @ The Cube, Faculty of Computer Science & Information Technology, University of Malaya. The purpose of the workshop is to prepare grant proposal for public grants and to expose the post graduate student with grant application. Grants are normally divided into two categories i.e Fundamental and Applied. Fundamental grants focus on fundamental research which questions the proposed algorithm, methodology or approach whether they will work or not. The Applied grants on the other hand looks at how the proposed method can be applied to certain area. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right title and objectives according to the grant applied. The Applied grants are also divided into several stages such as idea, prototype, pre-commercialization and commercialization. There are also grants which target multidisciplinary research.
In Malaysia, 2 main public grant comes from Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). Below are the grants
