TU-K Don wins Commonwealth Training Grant

Dr. George Obiero from the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology has won a research training grant from the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) - Supporting Research Community. The grant yields academic and research training opportunities, including training on essential skills in research presentation and grant writing for early and mid-career researchers.

Dr. Obiero expressed his excitement, noting that the grant aligns with TU-K’s commitment to higher education internationalisation and creation of an enabling research ecosystem. “We are proud to be enlisted among other ACU member universities for practical skills training to the research community,” he said. Dr. Obiero jointly developed the grant proposal with scholars from other universities, including; Dr. Patrick Owoche (Kibabii University) and Dr. Victor Aliata (Tom Mboya University). The team will organise a three-day training workshop at TU-K. The ACU research community grants enable staff at member universities to collaborate, develop, and provide training to young scientists. This is an effort to enhance practical soft skills training in effective communication of research output to the academic and scientific community, policymakers and non-academic audiences. “The ACU grant fosters collaboration among academic and research universities through expertise synergy. Individually, the training to be offered will see an improvement in scientific research output, both in quantity and quality from the participating ACU member universities,” Dr. Obiero said. He added: “As an associate in the Progressive Research Club (PRC), an initiative borne at TU-K to mentor students and early career scientists is critical in developing research interest among young scholars.”
