How to apply

Application Process through GAMES (https://games.lums.edu.pk/):
 
Applications are invited through Grants Application, Management and Execution System (GAMES). Applicants must register themselves on GAMES. Office of Research (OR) will activate their profile within 24 hours. Once, the account is activated, applicants may login through complete email address (username). Password is the same that is used for accessing LUMS’ network.
 
You can access GAMES remotely outside of LUMS’ network through VPN.
 
You may prepare your proposal using the attached application form and then just copy the content from this form to application form provided in GAMES (Since the GAMES application form does not provide the facility of saving your partial application as of now – this facility will be included in future). You may also upload your word document (or PDF) along with your application through GAMES. This will help especially in cases where tables, diagrams and figures are part of the proposal.
 
Please go to Application Management ---> Apply for Grant --> Syed Babar Ali Research Award.
