Description
Description | The Millennium Science Initiative Project's development objective is for Ugandan universities and research institutes to produce more and better qualified science and engineering graduates, and higher quality and more relevant research, and for firms to utilize these outputs to improve productivity for the sake of enhancing Science and Technology-led (S&T) growth. The project consists of the following components: Component 1) the MSI Funding Facility, provides competitively-awarded grants through three different windows, each dedicated to a specific purpose. Window A) funds research groups led by senior researchers or emerging investigators to conduct relevant, high-quality scientific and technological research closely connected to graduate training. Window B) funds the creation of undergraduate programs in basic science and engineering at licensed public and private institutions and/or the rehabilitation and upgrading of existing degree programs in basic science and engineering. Window C will support private sector cooperation. Component 2) will support an Outreach Program, plus institutional strengthening, monitoring and evaluation, and policy studies. |
