NHERA also includes a system of incentives and rewards for outstanding
performance in terms of:

• Producing and creating leading edge knowledge;
• applying that knowledge; and
• disseminating that knowledge to students and the wider community.

The first NHERA covered the period 1998-2008 including extension, this second
NHERA or NHERA-2 will be for the period 2009-2018. The initiatives under
NHERA-1 to improve research capability and productivity among HEIs will be
sustained and new challenges will be addressed under NHERA-2 so that higher
education research could create appreciable impacts not only across all disciplines
of higher education but also in the more real-world socio-economic and cultural
milieu.
