ABOUT THE CENTER

Sponsored research is a major strength of an institution. Adequate research infrastructure facilities are essential to conduct research in thrust areas of societal needs. The state of art facilities are being created with the help of funds from major funding agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, DRDO, MoIT, MoEF, DAE-BRNS etc. and also from the contribution by the Crescent management. Realizing the importance, a separate Center for sponsored projects and consultancy has been created in B.S.Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology. The present Director of the center is Dr.T.Harinarayana. The centre has identified more than 60 funding agencies for sponsored projects. The center facilitates the faculty to execute sponsored research, Industrial Consultancy, collaborative research and other revenue generation schemes with reputed institutions. Through such innovative suggestions and ways, Crescent faculty responded with nearly double the number of project proposals submitted worth nearly 20 crores during the current year 2017-18. A workshop to promote sponsored projects, writing skills on a research paper, IPR etc. issues has been organized during March and Aug. 2018 and more workshops are being planned for all the new faculty and the faculty writing proposals for the first time. This will further promote sponsored research and sponsored projects. This also helps our young students with innovative ideas and paves a way to file patents as well which in turn helps to start the Start-up companies.
