The Institutional Grants Scheme (IGS) supports the higher education institutions' research and research training activities, and allows them to fund their activities in accordance with their own strategic judgements. This scheme absorbs the funding previously allocated under the Research Quantum and the Small Grants Scheme. The IGS was implemented in 2002.
Funding under the IGS is allocated on the basis of formula that takes into account each institution's success in attracting research students (30% of funding), in attracting research income (60%) and in the quality and output of its research publications (10%).
Further information can be found at DIISR Institutional Grants Scheme page.
The IGS formula:
The formula is calculated for each institution by DIISR based on the results of annual Higher Education Research Data collections provided by institutions and granting bodies.
