A total of 151 proposing lecturers divided into 15 groups presented their research proposals via an online system usingZoom Meetings.This presentation took place from 13 s.d. April 21, 2020.
Chair of the UMI Resource Research and Development Institute (LP2S), Prof. Dr. H. Syahnur Said, SE MSi said, with the recommendationwork from homein the midst of the current Covid-19 pandemic, efforts are being made to continue what has been determined and programmed.
"We use an online system for presentations, previously we have equalized perceptions between reviewers, because this is important, so that there are no different perceptions between reviewers, so we have equalized perceptions," he said.
It was also said that the proposer (lecturer) had been given socialization for a week before the presentation started. "This is intended so that proposers are prepared to carry out online presentations," he said.
Prof. Syahnur also added that in 2020, there were 175 titles received from the Faculty's research scheme, but only around 167 passed the file. Of these 167 titles, administrative evaluation was carried out again by evaluators referring to 4 criteria, including; whether the research theme/title is in accordance with the Faculty theme, the second is Lecturer Status (Proposer), the third is Functional Position. The final criterion, the head of the proposer must have a Sprott account. Finally, there were 151 titles that passed to the presentation stage which was held online.
The 151 titles presented will be assessed by 30 reviewers owned by UMI, and of course these reviewers have National Reviewer certificates.
The quota set by the University to receive the research budget for this superior Research Scheme is only 100 quotas. Regarding this matter, socialization had been carried out long beforehand with the proposing lecturers. For this reason, the existence of quotas will encourage competition among lecturers to improve the quality of research.
"We hope that the University Leadership can increase the University's budget because we have implemented a good selection system, so that our friends' motivation to carry out research is maintained," he said.
