Research Co-ordinationa. A. In 2012, co-ordinated the efforts of
RELIEF International to sign MoU with the
University of Agriculture Peshawar for
funding 10 studies on zoonotic diseases.
Other than making linkage between RI and
the University, I selected proposals for
funding, made necessary suggestions,
helped the technical part, reviewed the
thesis, presented the outcome at seminars
and published some of the work conducted
under the program.
b. B. In 2013-14, I established linkages
between RI and four different universities
of KPK including the University of
Agriculture Peshawar, the University of
Peshawar, Kohat University of Science and
Technology and Khyber Medical University
Peshawar; where RI funded 18 studies. As
research coordinator, I have been
responsible for the technical part,
examining progress reports for release of
installments and furnishing final reports for
publication and awareness.
c. C. Consultancy for SAPCID PCR Lab,
Real-time PCR lab, Peshawar and Big
