RESEARCH PROJECT

  • The Micropollutant Research Centre (MPRC), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) is dedicated to advancing research in water quality, environmental sustainability, and innovative treatment technologies. To support this mission, MPRC provides research grant opportunities that empower academics, researchers, and postgraduate students to explore impactful solutions for pressing environmental challenges.
  • MPRC is committed to supporting and managing research activities through both internal and external grants. To ensure the sustainability of research funding, the centre actively seeks opportunities at local and international levels.
  • The center facilitates researchers throughout the pre-award process, including proposal preparation, application procedures, supporting documents, and compliance with grant requirements. In addition, MPRC oversees the post-award management of research grants by monitoring project progress from commencement to completion and final reporting. This also includes managing grant expenditures, coordinating with relevant UTHM departments, and engaging with stakeholders to ensure smooth project implementation and impactful outcomes.
