Funded Research, Testing, and Researchers
Funded research
When commissioned by external institutions, etc., NITech's researchers conduct research work with associated expenses being covered by the sponsor institution. Unlike collaborative research, in these cases external institutions, etc. do not need to dispatch their researchers to NITech.
Funded research will be conducted as it is requested.
