Involvement of Graduate
Students in Funded Projects
Research grants are applied for and
managed by faculty members (Principal
Investigators – PI’s)
A graduate student involved in a funded
project is expected to:
Work closely with the PI and his team
Consult with the PI in any matter related to
the project
Involvement of a graduate student is limited
to at most one research grant at any point
Financial Incentives in
Funded Projects
Funded projects typically provide financial
incentives to students
Internal: at most SAR 600/month for MS
students, SAR 800/month for PhD
students
KACST: varies depending on the project
NSTIP: at most SAR 2000/month for MS
students, SAR 2500/month for PhD
students
The goal is to provide an additional level of
support towards achieving significant
contributions
