UREP Grants

The following deliverables are required by QNRF and are to be submitted by the PFM who submitted the original research proposal and vetted by the RO.

1. Progress Report
   
   The Progress Report is to be submitted in accordance with the cycle’s timeline, and in the format found in the Download Centre of UREP on this website. The report is to be submitted at https://qnrfsubmission.info. The submitted report will be subject to vetting by RO and subsequent submission to QNRF at the same site.
   
2. Final Report and Completed Project Presentation
   
   QNRF is now requiring the following two end deliverables before the release of the final 50% of the UREP award:
   
   
   1. Final Report:
      
      Each project culminates with an appropriate Final Report of the completed work. The Report is to be submitted, in accordance with the cycle's timeline, and in the format found in the Download Centre of UREP on this website. The report is to be submitted at https://qnrfsubmission.info. The submitted report will be subject to vetting by RO and subsequent submission to QNRF at the same site. If the project is in the form of a design product, or a pamphlet or similar demonstration of scholarly/creative accomplishments, an abstract must be submitted (for inclusion in the QNRS record for the completed project) in its Final Report that should also highlight the project's activities according to the bullets of the Final Report's required format. It is expected that the Final Report is to be prepared by the participating undergraduate student(s) under the supervision of their mentors.
      
      The Final Report must be submitted separately from any publications or outcomes that result from the completed research work in order for the remaining 50% of the award to be disbursed. Any additional files, e.g. conference poster, multimedia outputs on DVD or CD, Power Point presentation, etc… that result from the research work are also to be submitted.
      
      Each publication that results from QNRF's UREP grant-supported research must include an acknowledgment of the QNRF grant support and a disclaimer stating the following:
      “This publication was made possible by a grant from the Qatar National Research Fund under its Undergraduate Research Experience Program award number UREPNN-NNN-N-NNN. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the Qatar National Research Fund.”
      
      The PFM is required to participate in QNRF's Qatar National Research Survey (QNRS) and provide the information on the completed research work on the form available at the QNRS web page on http://www.qnrf.org/activities/qnrs/survey/ indicating that it is a UREP awarded project. In the event that the work is intended to be published or to be presented at a conference, and in order to avoid duplicate QNRS records, the filling out of the QNRS form should be postponed until the paper is published or the conference details are made available before entering all of the data for the research work in the QNRS database.
      
   2. Project Presentation:
      
      For completed UREP research projects, QNRF is now requesting a 15-30 minutes presentation by the participating student(s) of the completed project.
      The PFM must notify QNRF of the date and venue of the presentation one week in advance, whether the presentation is required by the educational institution's policy or whether it should be prepared exclusively for QNRF representatives.
