KGMU always makes an effort to inculcate the habit of research among young faculty and medical students. To promote and support high-quality research work culture and place young faculty, postgraduate and undergraduate students at a position of advantage, the University started an intra-mural seed grant program in 2003. Under this scheme, University provides funds to young faculty, postgraduate and undergraduate students on a competitive basis. University also encourages them to publish their research findings in reputed medical journals.
Eligible to apply for Intramural Research Grants are:
Young faculty members (Asstt. Professors).
Any registered first-year postgraduate (MD/MS/MDS) students (JR-1) and first-year super specialty (DM/MCh) students (SR-1).
Any registered undergraduate (MBBS/BDS) student of the medical University whose term is valid for at least six months.
Under this scheme, students have to work on a research project under a mentor (ordinarily a senior faculty member of the University).
