Olympiad Committee

Objective:
The Olympiad Committee supports projects by top students in the National Olympiad of medical sciences education.
Approval process
The Manager of the Exceptional Talents Unit (MoHME) notifies NASR of the names and titles of projects by top students in the National Olympiad of medical sciences education. Principal investigators must upload their proposals to NASR Research System in the designated period notified to them.
Proposal format:
This committee accepts full proposals (the form is accessible to principal investigators on the NASR website),
Call for proposal date:
The call begins on 22 November and ends on 20 January.
Review process
The process of review is faster in this committee and involves only two scientific reviews. If the proposal passes this step, it is reviewed in the Cost Review Committee and the outcome is communicated to the principal investigator.
Approval:
After the cost review, projects are presented by the Deputy of Research to the NASR Supreme Council, and endorsed proposals are approved.
Finalization:
After approval, the proposal is sent to the finalization step where it is modified by the principal investigator.
Contract:
After the finalization step, the contract is prepared by the Research Unit and emailed to the principal investigator. The principal investigator prints out and signs the contract and posts it to NASR. The Head of NASR then signs the contract and the project enters the implementation phase.
Payments:
After the contract is drawn up with the principal investigator, the first installment (fund) is drafted by the Research Unit and notified to the Financial Unit. The next installments are computed and paid based on the progress of the project as determined by the project supervisor. Note that all payments are subject to a 5% tax and 10% deposit. All payments are notified to the principal investigator via text messages and emails.
Completion of the project:
When principal investigator presents the final report of their projects, as approved by the NASR Supreme Council, they have 18 months to meet the requirements and conclude the project. After the completed project is sent and approved by the Deputy for Research, the guarantee of performance is paid to the executive and the project is recorded as completed work.
Project implementation certificate:
After the project is completed, the project implementation certificate is issued and emailed to the principal investigator and collaborators.
