The College of Medicine, University of Ibadan via its College Research and Innovation Management Unit (CRIM), showed support for research and knowledge as mentored research grant for early career researchers was awarded to nine scholars.
This was showcased at a workshop on dissemination of the research findings by awardees on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at the Paul Hendrickse Lecture Theatre of the University’s College of Medicine.
While delivering the welcome address, provost, College of Medicine, Professor B.L. Salako, stated that research should gain ascendency in every nation for its progress. He said “research should help in policy formulation in the nation and that is why we are celebrating research by giving grants to young researchers so we can mentor them and encourage them as well.” Salako added that the College of Medicine has become an edifice that it is at present because of research grants while emphasising that awarding of grants is synonymous to building the future of the College of Medicine. The workshop, which was convened to offer opportunity for young scholars to demonstrate their ability to implement scientifically and ethically balanced research while fulfilling an ethical obligation which requires scientists to disseminate their findings, kicked off with the presentation of the first scholar, Ifeoluwa Awogbindin of the department of Biochemistry, who was mentored by Professor Ebenezer Farombi.
It will be recalled that in February 2014, the College Management launched the Mentored Research Grant for Early Career Researchers Scheme to award grants to young researchers in the College.
Also, in July 2014, the College gave awards with a value of N350, 000 each to nine deserving scholars from its four faculties.
