The Provost’s Research Fellowship Award enables faculty members to complete major projects that will result in important scholarly or creative contributions of value to ZU, the UAE, and beyond.

The Provost’s Office supports up to six (6) faculty awards per year.  The Award provides teaching reassignment up to 100% of a full load for the Spring 2015 or Fall 2015 semester to faculty members with established research or scholarly/creative project agendas.  It also includes a research fund of AED 15,000 to support the project. This fund can be used for research-related travel, research assistants, equipment and supplies, or other costs directly related to the project.

Dr Abubaker Ibrahim, IIWS faculty, was among the winners of The Provost’s Research Fellowship Award (2014-2015) for his project entitled: “A UAE National Framework for Undergraduate Islamic Studies, Identity and Heritage for a Better Understanding of National and Global Issues”.
