Alhamdulillah, on 30 October 2020, we received an email from RMC informing that our Reflective Brain project successfully secured FRGS 2020 (Phase 1). The project, which is officially entitled “Framework for Critical Reflective Thinking based on Neuroeducational Approach“, has been approved and granted RM56,200 from the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE).

Personally, this is my second time receiving FRGS after my first project ended in 2016. Indeed, it was quite competitive this time around. 142 (out of 362) applications from UTM succeeded in securing the grant. Credits should be given to my faculty, FSSH, in collaboration with my Research Alliance, for all the workshops organised since early 2020. And also to the facilitators who had shared all the valuable tips, as well as the internal evaluators for all the constructive comments and suggestions throughout the process proposal refinement.
