Welcome to the Research and Innovation Management Centre (RIMC) web site.
First and foremost I would like to thank you for visiting our web site. In hindsight, RIMC was founded in April 2003 as a Research Management Unit. The need to consolidate and emphasize on research and innovation as well as the increased in the number of researches and grants prompted Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) to establish RIMC as a centre on 10 January 2005.
In principle, RIMC is responsible for overseeing the management of research in UNIMAS. Among other functions, RIMC serves as an administrative secretariat to UNIMAS Research and Services Committee (RSC), Research Expert Panels, Research Chair Steering Committee, and UNIMAS Conference Committee. Currently, RIMC is managing RMKe-10 (10th Malaysia Plan) research allocation provided under; (1) Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS), (2) Exploratory Research Grants Scheme (ERGS), (3) Long Term Research Grant Scheme (LRGS), (4) Prototype Development Research Grant Scheme, and (5) Research Incentives.
In line with the vision and mission of UNIMAS, RIMC is committed to pursue UNIMAS’ target of becoming a research university by 2015. Let’s work together towards fulfilling our dream.
I encourage you to explore our web site on matters relating to the university’s research, policy, and grants available. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any enquiries.
